B6.Cg-Igs7tm140.1(tetO-EGFP, CAG-tTA2)Hze/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250788

Common Name: Ai140(TIT2L-GFP-ICL-tTA2)-D (or Ai140D)
Ai140(TIT2L-GFP-ICL-tTA2)-D (also called Ai140D) mice are a Cre-dependent, Tet-controllable fluorescent reporter line, created by targeted insertion at the Igs7 locus (TIGRE; an intergenic region on mouse chromosome 9 that allows reporter expression to be tightly regulated). Exposure to Cre recombinase removes both STOP cassettes - resulting in EGFP fluorescence and tTA2 expression - and that EGFP expression may be diminished/eliminated by doxycycline.

Site of Expression
When bred to mice expressing Cre recombinase, the resulting offspring will have both floxed-STOP cassettes deleted in the Cre-expressing cells/tissues - resulting in EGFP fluorescence and tTA2 expression.

Molecular Note
The replacement vector is designed with (from 5' to 3') an FRT3 site, two copies of chicken beta-globin HS4 insulator element, a Tet response element/promoter (TRE2), a loxP-flanked STOP cassette, a synthetic enhanced green fluorescent protein sequence (EGFP), a woodchuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element, a BGH polyA, two copies of chicken beta-globin HS4 insulator element, a CMV-IE enhancer/chicken beta-actin/rabbit beta-globin hybrid promoter (CAG; from pCAGGS), a lox2272-flanked STOP cassette, a synthetic modified tetracycline-regulated transactivator gene (tTA2S), a WPRE, a BGH polyA, an AttB site, a PGK-5'hygro cassette, an RNA splice donor and a FRT5 site. Embryonic stem cells previously targeted with FRT3::AttB::PGK-neoR-polyA::FRT5::splice acceptor::3'hygro cassette::SV40 polyA:AttP in TIGRE, were re-transfected with the pTRE2-LSL-EGFP-CAG-LSL-tTA2 replacement vector and Flp recombinase vector for recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RCME). PhiC31-mediated recombination removed the AttB/AttP-flanked sequence (PGK-Neo-polyA::frt5::RNA splice acceptor::3'hygro-polyA) and replaced it with the recombined AttB/AttP site (AttL).

Breeding Considerations
Heterozygous mice are viable and fertile with no reported gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. It is the experience of CD BioScience that homozygous mice are viable and fertile. When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred together, to wildtype mice from the colony or to C57BL/6J inbred mice. Alternatively, homozygous mice may be bred together.
