Tg(ML5sHEL)5Ccg was backcrossed from C57BL/6-Tg(ML5sHEL)5Ccg (Stock#002599) onto NOD/Lt to generate NOD.B6-Tg(ML5sHEL)5Ccg/Dvs. It has been observed that agouti coat color co-segregates with this transgene even at N11. Thus, albino mice likely are not carriers while agouti mice likely are.

Molecular Note | A genomic fragment containing the coding exons of the chicken lysozyme gene (also known as hen egg lysozyme, HEL) was linked to a mouse metallothionein I promoter. The mouse metallothionein I promoter is active during embryonic, fetal, and adult life, and can be induced to higher levels of transcription by heavy metals. Mice carrying the transgene had measurable, soluble chicken lysozyme in their serum. The line chosen for study (ML-5) had the highest serum lysozyme concentrations. |
