Tg(GFAP-SRC)3Aag
Transgene Detail

Summary

• Symbol: Tg(GFAP-SRC)3Aag
• Name: transgene insertion 3, Adriano Aguzzi
• MGI ID: MGI:2445478
• Synonyms: src3
• Transgene: Tg(GFAP-SRC)3Aag Location: unknown
• Alliance: Tg(GFAP-SRC)3Aag page

Transgene origin

• Strain of Origin: (C57BL/6J x C3H)F1

Transgene description

• Transgene Type: Transgenic (Inserted expressed sequence)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: The transgene was constructed by insertion of an SRC cDNA sequence from the Schmidt-Ruppin strain into exon 1 of GFAP. The GFAP promoter drives expression of the transgene in astrocytes of the brain. RT-PCR analysis of brain RNA from transgenic animals confirmed expression of the transgene. Transgene expression was also detected in lung, thymus, spleen, and gonads. (J:40335)
