B6.129P2(Cg)-Hprt1^{tm38(Ple17-lacZ)Ems}/Mmjax

Stock number: 012574
Strain synonyms: B6.129P2(Cg)-Hprt
Research areas: Neurobiology Research, Research Tools

Description

These mice have the Ple17-lacZ transgene targeted as a single copy "knockin" into the upstream region of the Hprt1 locus on the X chromosome. The promoter/regulatory regions of the human C8ORF46 gene direct expression of β-galactosidase.

Marker synonyms: HGPRT; Hgprtase; Hprt
Chromosome: X
Strain of origin: (B6.129P2-Hprt1^b-m3/J x 129S-Gt(ROSA)26Sor^tm1Sor/J)F1

Molecular note: The Ple17-lacZ transgene (pEMS1487) was designed with the 3948 bp Ple17 minipromoter (C8ORF46-D; derived from a portion of the promoter of the C8ORF46 gene and three downstream putative regulatory elements from the RIKEN cDNA 3110035E14 (C8ORF46) gene) upstream of a frt-flanked beta-galactosidase (lacZ) gene, an SV40 early polyA signal, and a human HPRT complementary sequence (containing exon1, intron1, exon2, and part of intron2). This construct was targeted as a single copy knockin to the Hprt^b-m3 mutant locus on the X chromosome.
General note: Germ line transmission of mutant cell line mEMS4619 has been established.
