Transgene origin

• Strain of Origin: C57BL/6

Transgene description

• Transgene Type: Transgenic (Reporter)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: A 1.9 kb s5' segment of Aif1 including promoter sequence, exon1, intron 1, and part of exon 2 was used to drive expression of EGFP. An additional 17 amino acids are added to the N-terminal end of EGFP. One of seven transgenic lines was kept for further analysis. The integration site on chromosome 11D was determined by FISH analysis. (J:153422)
