B6;129-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(rtTA*M2)Jae Col1a1tm1(tetO-cre)Haho/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250431

Common Name: R26-M2rtTA::TetOP-Cre
These double mutant R26-M2rtTA::TetOP-Cre mice utilize the rtTA/tetO (tet-on/TRE) system to allow highly-efficient, doxycycline-inducible Cre recombinase expression in hematopoietic stem cells. These mice harbor the R26M2rtTA targeted mutation (an optimized form of reverse tetracycline controlled transactivator [rtTA-M2] downstream of the Gt(ROSA)26Sor promoter) and the Col1a1TetOP-Cre targeted mutation (a tetracycline responsive element-driven Cre recombinase targeted to the collagen type I alpha 1 locus).

Site of Expression
Expresses an optimized rtTA protein (rtTA-M2). Inducible target gene expression is detected in liver, bone marrow, stomach, intestine, and skin, with lower levels in the heart, lungs, kidney, spleen, and thymus; no expression is detected in the brain and testes.

Molecular Note
An optimized form of reverse tetracycline controlled transactivator (rtTA-M2) was inserted downstream of the Gt(ROSA)26Sor promoter and was followed by a PGK-puro selection cassette. This mutant form of rtTA termed M2 has five amino acid substitutions in the tetR moiety of tTA: S12G, E19G, A56P, D148E and H179R. This mutated form of transactivator protein has inCreased doxycycline sensitivity. Mice have widespread expression of the rtTA-M2 protein.
