Transgene
origin
Strain of Origin:  C57BL/6 x SJL
Transgene
description
Transgene Type:    Transgenic (Inserted expressed sequence)
Mutation:    Insertion
 
Tg(Prl-TGFA)1Jek expresses 1 gene
 
Mutation detailsA 900 kb human TGFA cDNA directed by a rat Prl promoter was used for the transgene. A 3 kb rat Prl promoter was used to drive transgene expression in in the pituitary lactotroph cells. Transgene expression was confirmed by Northern blot and immunofluorescence analysis of pituitary glands from transgenic animals. (J:80651)

Carrying this Mutation:  Mouse Strains: 0 strains available      Cell Lines: 0 lines available
Notes
Two transgenic founder lines designated 8-8 and 13-8 express transgene RNA strictly in the pituitary. Only female animals express the transgene.
