B6;129-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(CAG-COP4*E123T*H134R, -tdTomato)Gfng/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250337

Common Name: R26-CAG-LSL-2XChETA-tdTomato
The R26-CAG-LSL-2XChETA-tdTomato reporter allele is designed to express two individual proteins following exposure to Cre recombinase; the ChR2-E123T accelerated (ChETA)/H134R variant of channelrhodopsin-2 and tdTomato fluorescent protein gene. When used with neuron-specific Cre recombinase expressing strains, the double mutant mice can be used in optogenetic studies and visualization of whole neurons.

Molecular Note
A targeting vector, which contained the CAG promoter, a loxP site flanked STOP fragment and pGK-NEO-pA cassette, 2 copies of channelrhodopsin-2 with E123T mutation (ChETA variant) and the H134R mutation, P2A-tdTomato variant of Enhanced Red Fluorescent Protein, and WPRE (Woodchuck Hepatitis Virus (WHP) Posttranscriptional Regulatory Element) sequence to enhance expression level, was inserted into the locus.
