  (MGI:2179277)

• Mutation details: The transgene consists of a human rhodopsin promoter (containing the RER enhancer element), the full-length mutant human Sca7 gene carrying a 90 glutamine repeat expansion, and an SV40 intron and polyadenylation sequence. Transgene expression was observed in rod cells by immunofluorescence, and in retinal extracts by Western blot. (J:65411)
