These CCSP-rtTA transgenic mice express the rtTA protein under the control of the rat Scgb1a1 gene promoter and provides an improved "Tet-On" tool that allows the inducible expression of genes in the developing and adult lung and respiratory epithelium.

Transgenic (Transactivator) |
These transgenic mice express the reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator (rtTA) protein under the control of the rat Scgb1a1, secretoglobin, family 1A, member 1 (uteroglobin), gene promoter. In situ hybridization detects rtTA mRNA in bronchial and type II epithelial cells of lung tissue from adult transgenic mice treated with doxycycline for seven days. Induction of transgene expression is detected as early as postconception day 14 when the pregnant female is treated with doxycycline. When mated to a second transgenic strain carrying a gene under the regulatory control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (tetO), expression of the gene can be regulated by the tetracycline analog, doxycycline (dox); in the presence of dox, transcription of the target gene is induced in cells where rtTA is expressed. Mice hemizygous for the CCSP-rtTA transgene are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities.
This founder line has less non-doxycycline-dependent expression of rtTA than Founder Line 1 (See Stock No. 006232, and Stock No. 006242)
A transgenic construct containing 3.7kb sequence of the rat Scgb1a1, secretoglobin, family 1A, member 1 (uteroglobin), gene promoter, the reverse tetracycline regulatable transactivator protein (rtTA) gene, and 2.0kb sequence of the human grouth hormone gene, containing introns and polyadenylation site, was injected into mixed C57BL/6 and 129 background embryos. Mice from founder line 2 were bred to FVB/N mice. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory, these mice were bred with C57BL/6J mice (Stock No. 000664) to establish the colony.

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project. We do not guarantee breeding performance and therefore suggest that investigators order more than one breeding pair to avoid delays in their research.
