B6;CBA-Tg(Emx1-cre/ERT2)1Kess/SshiJ

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250642

Common Name: Emx1-CreERT2
Emx1-Cre-ERT2 mice express Cre in pallial precursors cells making them useful for applications requiring tamoxifen-induced deletion of floxed sequences in these cells.

Molecular Note
A P1 artificial chromosome was Created that contained a tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase with a nuclear localization signal fused to the initiation codon. Expression recapitulates endogenous expression in the cortical precursors.

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony hemizygous mice may be bred to wildtype (non-carrier) mice from the colony or to C57BL/6J. The donating investigator has not attempted to make this strain homozygous.
