B6.Cg-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm3.2(CAG-EGFP, -CHRM3*/mCherry/Htr2a)Pjen/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250622

Common Name: RC::FL-hM3Dq
This strain is currently unavailable due to replenishing of cryopreserved stocks. Interested customers can register interest.RC::FL-hM3Dq is a dual recombinase-responsive Gq-coupled DREADD allele with a frt-flanked STOP and a cre-dependent FLEx switch containing an eGFP sequence and an inverted hM3Dq/mCherry/2ACT88 fusion protein. Flp-recombinase results in widespread, robust eGFP fluorescence, and further exposure to Cre recombinase may replace eGFP expression with somatodendritic hM3Dq/mCherry expression. The DREADD hM3Dq induces the canonical Gq pathway (depolarization/activation) specifically following administration of its pharmacologically inert ligand (CNO). The RC::FL-hM3Dq allele and its derivatives permit chemogenetic/pharmacogenetic activation of an intersectional subpopulation defined by overlap of Flp and Cre recombinase expression.

Site of Expression
EGFP fluorescence is widespread after removal of the STOP sequence by FLP recombination. mCherry fluorescence is expressed in Cre expressing tissues after Cre recombination.

Molecular Note
The allele has a CAG hybrid promoter,a rox-flanked His3-SV40 transcriptional STOP cassette, an FRT flanked STOP cassette and a variant lox-flanked region containing an eGFP cassette, an inverted hM3Dq/mCherry fusion protein, WPRE, polyA signal and an attB/attP-flanked PGK-FRT Neo-polyA cassette all inserted into the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus. The inverted hM3Dq-mCherry-2ACT88 fusion protein cDNA sequence contains (hM3Dq DREADD) a red fluorescent protein mCherry and the final 264 coding nucleotides of the rat Htr2A gene (encoding a C-terminal epitope that mediates localization to the cell body/soma and dendrites). PhiC31-mediated recombination removed the AttB/AttP-flanked neo sequence. Dre-mediated recombination removed the rox-flanked STOP cassette. Flp-mediated recombination removed FRT flanked STOP cassette.

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony, homozygous mice may be bred together. Note, although the donating investigator reports that mice were backcrossed onto C57BL/6J for five generations prior to sending to CD BioScience Repository, they did not select pffspring for coat color - and this colony may exhibit agouti or black coat color.
