Tlx1-CreERT2-Venus Mice

Catalog Number: C001676

Strain Name: C57BL/6JCya-Tlx1em1(CreERT2-Venus)/Cya

Genetic Background: C57BL/6JCya

Examples of Expressing Tissues/Cells: Developing spleen, kidneys, nervous system, mesenchymal tissues, and Tlx1-positive cells

 

Strain Description

The ATG start codon and the partial coding sequence of exon 1 were replaced with the Kozak-CreERT2-IRES-Venus-WPRE-BGH pA cassette. CreERT2 recombinase and Venus fluorescent protein are expressed under the regulatory control of Tlx1 gene elements. This model is a Tamoxifen-inducible Cre mouse, and when crossed with mice containing loxP sites, the offspring mice are expected to undergo sequence recombination between loxP sites mediated by Cre recombinase in Tlx1-positive cells following Tamoxifen induction.


Announcement

The insertion site of the CreERT2 recombinase gene expression cassette in this strain is located on chromosome 19. Please avoid breeding with gene-edited mice targeting genes on the same chromosome as the Cre mouse when conducting mating.
