B6.Cg-Igs7tm215(CAG-ACR2*, CAG-GCaMP7s)Tasic/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07251109

Common Name: TICL-stGtACR2-HA-ICL-GCaMP7s-SS
Ai215 (also called Ai215 (TICL-stGtACR2-HA-ICL-GCaMP7s-SS)) is a Cre-dependent optogenetic and fluorescent calcium-indicator tool allele designed with a CAG promoter, loxP-STOP-loxP and stGtACR2 coding sequence followed by a CAG promoter, lox2272-STOP-lox2272 and GCaMP7s coding sequence - all inserted into the Igs7 locus (TIGRE). Exposure to Cre recombinase results in expression of stGtACR2 (soma-targeted variant of the red-shifted, light-gated anion channelrhodopsin GtACR2; neuronal silencing) and/or GCaMP7s fluorescence.

Molecular Note
The targeting vector contains (from 5' to 3') a Bxb1 attL site, a partial green fluorescent protein sequence (non-functional 500bp fragment to inCrease the space between the Bxb1 attB site and the insulator sequence to improve stability of the targeting vector), two copies of chicken beta-globin HS4 insulator element (to reduce reporter gene expression in absence of transactivators), a CMV-IE enhancer/chicken beta-actin/rabbit beta-globin hybrid promoter (CAG; from pCAGGS), a loxP-flanked STOP cassette (stop codons in all three reading frames linked to synthetic pA-hGHpA-PGKpA), the coding sequence of stGtACR2 (GtACR2 with targeting sequence TS and Kv2.1 and HA tag sequence), a BGH polyA, two copies of chicken beta-globin HS4 insulator element, the CAG promoter, a lox2272-flanked STOP cassette (stop codons in all three reading frames linked to synthetic pA-hGHpA-TKpA), the coding sequence of GCaMP7s (with GSG linker sequence and supersoma sequence), a BGH polyA, a PhiC31 attB site, a PGK-5'hygro cassette, an RNA splice donor, a Bxb1 attR site, SA, 3'hygro, SV40pA, and PhiC31 attP. GtACR2 is derived from the Guillardia theta anion channelrhodopsin 2 gene.

Breeding Considerations
Heterozygous mice are viable and fertile with no reported gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. To date, it has not been attempted to make this strain homozygous. When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred together, to wildtype mice from the colony or to C57BL/6J inbred mice.
