description
Transgene Type:    Transgenic (Inserted expressed sequence)
Mutation:    Insertion
 
Tg(Col2a1)1Vuo expresses 1 gene
 
Tg(Col2a1)1Vuo expression driven by 1 gene
 
Mutation detailsA mouse Col2a1 gene deleted for a 150 bp region containing exon 7 and intron 7 was used for the transgene. 3 kb of mouse Col2a1 promoter sequences were used to drive transgene expression in chondrocytes. The transgene is expressed predominantly in the cartilage and eye as determined by RT-PCR analysis of transgenic tissues. (J:1279)

Notes
Founder Del1 carries 6 integrated copies of the transgene. Founder Del1 and its heterozygous F1 offspring all exhibit smaller size compared to wild-type, but when bred to homozygosity the offspring exhibit severe short-limbed dwarfism.
