| Genetic information | Strain carries a transgene expressing a protamine 1-EGFP (Prm1-EGFP) fusion protein under the transcriptional and translational regulatory control of Prm1. This line shows strong transgene expression. Males are sterile but the ability to mate and to produce copulation plugs is unaffected. Sterility is due to impaired spermatid maturation affecting sperm viability and motility. As such, the males can be used to produce pseudo-pregnant females. See Haueter et al., 2010, Genesis, 48 (3):151-160. |
| Phenotypic information | Homozygous:Mice cannot be bred to homozygosity. Heterozygous:Heterozygous females are phenotypically normal. Heterozygous males are sterile despite normal mating performance. |
| Breeding history | Currently maintained on a CD1 background. |
