description
Transgene Type:    Transgenic (Inserted expressed sequence)
Mutation:    Insertion
 
Tg(ACTB-BDNF)#Gdy expresses 1 gene
 
Mutation detailsA human beta Actin promoter was used to drive expression of a human BDNF cDNA. Two founders carried two copies at a single integration site. Both lines were very similar so only one was maintained. Expression dropped between 8 weeks and 9 months of age. (J:59465)
