B6.Cg-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm2(CAG-rtTA3, -mKate2)Slowe/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250744

Common Name: Rosa26-CAGs-LSL-RIK knock-in
CAGs-LSL-RIK (or Rosa26-CAGs-LSL-RIK) knock-in has a CAG promoter and loxP-flanked STOP cassette upstream of the third-generation reverse tetracycline-regulated transactivator gene (rtTA3), IRES sequence and the monomeric far-red fluorescent protein mKate2, all inserted into the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus. These mice are a Cre recombinase-dependent, Tet-On and fluorescent tool strain - following removal of the floxed-STOP cassette, they allow dox-conditional expression of TRE promoter-driven target genes in conjunction with mKate2 fluorescence.

Site of Expression
When these mutant mice are bred to mice that express Cre recombinase, the resulting offspring will express rtTA3 in Cre-expressing tissues with subsequent expression of RFP (mKate2) under control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (TRE; or tetO) that can be induced/regulated by tetracycline or its analog doxycycline (dox).

Molecular Note
The targeting construct introduced into the locus a CAG promoter, floxed stop cassette, reverse tetracycline transactivator 3 (rtTA3), IRES and a far red reporter gene (mKate2).

Breeding Considerations
Mice heterozygous or homozygous for the Rosa26-CAGs-LSL-RIK knock-in allele are viable and fertile with no reported gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred together, to wildtype mice from the colony or to C57BL/6NJ inbred mice. Alternatively, homozygous mice may be bred together.
