Strain of Origin:  FVB/N
Transgene
description
Transgene Type:    Transgenic (Inserted expressed sequence)
Mutation:    Insertion
 
Tg(Mt1-Esr1)1Vld expresses 1 gene
 
Mutation detailsThe full-length mouse Esr1 cDNA fused to the mouse metallothionein 1 promoter was used for the transgene. Unexpectedly, no expression of the transgene was found in the liver. Expression of the transgene was verified by ribonuclease protection assay (RPA). (J:19507)

Notes
Six different transgenic founders were created and designated founders A-E. Transgene copy number varied from 1-46, and all founders expressed the transgene at the highest levels in the female reproductive tract. Low to moderate transgene expression was observed in some non-reproductive tissues. All founders exhibit age-related reproductive phenotypes including reduced fertility, extended gestation times, stillbirths, prolonged difficult labor (dystocia), and birth trauma.
