B6.Cg-Pou4f2tm1(cre)Bnt/SjJ

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250870

Common Name: Pou4f2Cre
This knock-in/knock-out strain, backcrossed to C57BL/6J from the original mixed genetic background (see), expresses cre recombinase from the Pou4f2 promoter. In the original line, cre expression is observed in the retina, brain, intestines, heart, and gonads.

Site of Expression
When Pou4f2Cre mice are crossed with animals carrying a loxP-flanked sequence of interest, Cre-mediated excision of the floxed region occurs in the retina, brain (optic tract, hippocampus, cortex), intestines, heart, and gonads (ovary and testes).

Molecular Note
An internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-Cre was fused to exon 1, disrupting the mouse Pou4f2 gene. A neomcyin cassette, in reverse transcriptional orientation, was placed downstream.

Breeding Considerations
Heterozygotes are viable and fertile. Homozygous viability/fertility of the C57BL/6J-backcrossed line has not been tested (January, 2018).
