• Mutation details: The transgene consists of a mouse Pcp2 promoter and a human wild-type SCA1 cDNA sequence with 30 CAG repeats. The 835 bp fragment of mouse Pcp2 regulatory sequence include exon 1, intron 1, and part of exon 2 of Pcp2. The Pcp2 promoter targets transgene expression to Purkinje cells. Transgene expression was confirmed by Northern blot and Western blot analysis of cerebellar extracts. (J:28932)

Notes

Seven transgenic lines were created carrying between 5-200 copies of the integrated transgene. Lines A02, A06.1, and A06.2 exhibited the highest levels of transgene mRNA expression at 50- to 100-fold compared to the endogenous gene.
