C.Cg-Tg(Itgax-Venus)1Mnz/J

Stock number: 008830
Research areas: Research Tools

Description

This transgenic strain expresses yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) under the transcriptional control of the mouse integrin alpha X (Itgax, Cd11c) promoter which is exclusively expressed in dendritic cells of the immune system.

Detailed description

This transgenic strain expresses yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) under the transcriptional control of the mouse integrin alpha X (Cd11c) promoter which is exclusively expressed in dendritic cells of the immune system.

Development

Yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) was placed under the transcriptional control of the mouse integrin alpha X (Cd11c) promoter. The transgenic vector was introduced to B6CBAF1 fertilized embryos. This line was backcrossed to BALB/c for 10 generations by the donating laboratory.
