B6;129S-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm2.1Ksvo/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250549

Common Name: R26 LSL FSF ReaChR-mCitrine
ReaChR protein (a red-shifted channelrhodopsin) was tagged with mCitrine fluorescent protein and placed under the conditional control of the Gt(ROSA)26Sor promoter. Excision of two stop cassettes (one flanked by loxP sites, another flanked by FRT sites) enables fluorescent expression. As an optogenetic tool, this strain is useful for the selective activation and mapping of neuron populations.Anecdotal reports suggest that the FRT-flanked Stop cassette may* be showing FRT-site read through in this line, effectively making this a cre-dependent strain only.

Molecular Note
A CAG promoter (cytomegalovirus (CMV) enhancer fused to the chicken beta-actin promoter), FRT flanked stop cassette, loxP-flanked stop cassette, ReaChR red-shifted channelrhodopsin, fluorescent reporter mCitrine, woodchuck hepatitis post-transcriptional regulatory element (WPRE), poly A (pA) tail, and AttB/AttP-flanked neomycin resistance cassette were introduced to intron 1 of the Gt(ROSA)26Sor gene. PhiC31o-mediated recombination removed the neo cassette.
