B6J.Cg-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm96(CAG-GCaMP6s)Hze/MwarJ
Cat. No.: CEMM-07250705
Common Name: Ai96(RCL-GCaMP6s) (C57BL/6J); Ai96 (C57BL/6J)
Ai96(RCL-GCaMP6s) (also called Ai96) mice are a Cre-dependent, fluorescent, calcium-indicator tool strain. Ai96 has a floxed-STOP cassette preventing transcription of the GCaMP6 slow variant calcium indicator (GCaMP6s; an ultrasensitive detector of single neuronal action potentials with slower decay and response kinetics). After Cre exposure, increased EGFP fluorescence is observed following calcium binding (such as neuronal activation).

| Molecular Note |
The targeting vector was designed with (from 5' to 3') a CMV-IE enhancer/chicken beta-actin/rabbit beta-globin hybrid promoter (from pCAGGS), a loxP-flanked STOP cassette (stop codons in all three reading frames linked to synthetic pA-hGHpA-PGKpA), the GCaMP6s coding sequence, a WPRE sequence (to enhance mRNA transcript stability), a bovine growth hormone polyA signal, the GCaMP6s coding sequence (described below), a woodchuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element (WPRE; to enhance mRNA transcript stability), a bovine growth hormone polyA signal, an AttB site, a PGK promoter-Neomycin resistance gene-PGK polyA cassette, and an AttP site. This entire targeting vector was inserted between exons 1 and 2 of the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus. GCaMP6s has a chicken smooth muscle M13 fragment of myosin light chain kinase, a circularly permutated EGFP, and a rat calmodulin DNA fragment to inCrease the fluorescence change for small calcium transients.

| Breeding Considerations |
When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred to wildtype mice from the colony or to C57BL/6J inbred mice. The donating investigator has not attempted to generate homozygous mice to date.
