• Mutation details: The creER^T2 expression cassette, preceded by a rabbit beta-globin DNA encompassing intron 2 (beta-globin intervening sequences [bGIVS]) and followed by the SV40 polyA signal and a PGK/Tn5-driven neomycin resistance cassette flanked by FRT sites (neo) was inserted by homologous recombination at the transcription initiation site of the Slc1a3 (Glast) gene located in BAC RP23-63O21. The linearized vector was injected into pronuclei of fertilized FVB/N eggs. Line 45-72 showed the highest level of Cre expression, which corresponded to the strong presence of Slc1a3 transcripts. Other regions of the CNS also contained CreER^T2 transcripts, but at lower levels. CreER^T2 mRNA was also detected in the skin and testis in agreement with elevated Slc1a3 transcript levels in these tissues. (J:156087)
