B6N.Cg-Tg(Camk2a-cre)T29-1Stl/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250412

These CaMKIIalpha-cre T29-1 transgenic mice have the mouse calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha (Camk2a) promoter driving Cre recombinase expression in the forebrain, specifically to the CA1 pyramidal cell layer in the hippocampus.

Molecular Note
This transgene directs the expression of Cre recombinase under the control of the alpha subunit of the calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II promoter. Cre recombinase activity was detected in the CA1 region of the hippocampus.

Breeding Considerations
Mice were bred to C57BL/6NJ inbred mice for many generations using a marker-assisted, speed congenic approach to generate this C57BL/6NJ-congenic strain. When maintaining the live congenic colony, hemizygous mice may be bred with wildtype (non-carrier) mice from the colony or with C57BL/6NJ inbred mice. For Cre-lox experiments and to avoid germline deletion/global recombination of floxed alleles, researchers may consider breeding Tg(Camk2a-cre)T29-1Stl females with floxed males.
