B6;D2-Tg(Actb-Uprt)372Cdoe/J

Stock number: 009668

Description

These transgenic mice express the Toxoplasma gondii uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (Uprt) gene fused to a hemagglutinin epitope tag driven by the chicken beta actin gene. Expression in brains has been demonstrated by Western blot. No overt phenotype has been reported by the donating laboratory.

Detailed description

These transgenic mice express the Toxoplasma gondii uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (Uprt) gene fused to a hemagglutinin epitope tag driven by the chicken beta actin gene. Expression in brains has been demonstrated by Western blot. No overt phenotype has been reported by the donating laboratory. Line 372 has a higher transgenic copy number than line 274 (see Stock No. 010967), but there are no overt phenotypic differences.

Development

The chicken beta actin promoter drives expression of influenza hemagglutinin antigenic tag YPYDVPDYA fused to the Toxoplasma gondii-derived uracil phosphoribosyltransferase gene. The transgenic vector was introduced to B6D2F1 embryos. This line was crossed twice to C57BL/6 by the donating laboratory. This is line 372.
