Strain Information

Image
BRC No.RBRC09806
TypeTransgeneCartagena
SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameB6.Cg-Tg(CAG-cat,-EGFP)39Miya
Former Common nameCAG-CAT-EGFP mice, CAG-LSL-EGFP mice
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell line
Background strainC57BL/6JJcl
Appearance
Strain developmentDeveloped by Jun-ich Miyazaki in 1999. Transgene was injected into BDF1, and then mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6 for more than 30 generations.
Strain descriptionTransgenic reporter mice for Cre recombinase. Floxed cat gene can be excised by Cre recombinase, resulting in EGFP expression.
Colony maintenance
References
A novel reporter mouse strain that expresses enhanced green fluorescent protein upon Cre-mediated recombination.
