Genetic informationTransgenic mice harbouring the transgene CAGtdTRed, line 169 with the transgene insertion on chromosome 6 at the ROSA26 locus.
Phenotypic informationHomozygous:
Not tested.

Heterozygous:
Mice carrying the transgene (males and females) have a visibly red phenotype. From an early age the skin appears red, which continues to be visible in hairless regions (eg tail, ear pinnae) in mature mice . Most internal organs also have a red hue. With imaging, the mice fluoresce red at the wave length of tdTRed (excitation peak at 554nm and emission peak at 581nm) as do cells isolated from tissues. Cells can be separated by FACS from mixtures with non-red cells. In older mice (>180 days) some mice appear to show more signs of aging compared to non-transgenic mice of similar age and as such, the transgene may impact general fitness in older mice.
Breeding historyThe parental strains: B6.Cg-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm14(CAG-tdTomato)Hze/J mice (strain number 007914) were obtained from the Jackson Laboratory (originally generated by Zeng and colleagues, 2010, Nat. Neu. 13,133-140). These mice carry a transgene inserted into the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus comprising a CAG promoter-driven red-tdTomato fluorescent protein gene, which has a loxP-flanked STOP cassette preventing transcription of the gene. DelCre mice (Tg(CMV-cre)1Cgn) have been described (Schwenk et al (1995), Nucleic Acids Res 23: 5080-5081, PMID 8559668) and are also available from the Jackson Laboratory (strain number 006054). These mice carry an X-linked Cre expressing transgene under the control of the CMV promoter (with ubiquitous expression). These strains of mice were crossed to induce loxP recombination in germ cells, generating the derivative line tdTRed with deleted STOP cassette, which expresses tdTRed in virtually all cells. This new founder has been continued to be backcrossed to C57BL/6 (and also intercrossed with negative siblings), selecting for the tdTRed transgene, and was selected against the DelCre transgene in the first generation, which the line no longer carries. This line has been crossed to EµEBNA1 line 26 mice (listed separately) and the bi-transgenics are available.

Order

Availabilities

Requesting frozen sperm or embryos is generally advisable wherever possible, in order to minimise the shipment of live mice.

Due to the dynamic nature of our processes strain availability may change at short notice. The local repository manager will advise you in these circumstances.

* In addition users have to cover all the shipping costs (including the cost for returning dry-shippers, where applicable).
