| Genetic information | NES/TK-PDGFB-lacZ: the mice express 0.7 kb of human PDGFB cDNA under control of nestin 2nd intron minimal enhancer for expression in embryonic neural stem cells and the TK promoter. IRES sequences link PDGF-B to lacZ. |
| Phenotypic information | The NES/TK-PDGFB-lacZ mouse line is viable and fertile. It showed increased apoptosis in the developing striatum, which suggests a disturbed regulation of progenitor cells. Later in neurodevelopment, in early postnatal life, mice displayed enlarged lateral ventricles. This enlargement remained into adulthood and it was more pronounced in male mice than in transgenic female mice. Nevertheless, there was an overall normal composition of cell types and numbers in the brain and the transgenic mice were viable and fertile. Adult transgenic males, however, showed behavioral aberrations and locomotor dysfunction. |
| Breeding history | Made in oocytes from (C57BL/6 x CBA)F1 mice. Bred to C57BL/6 mice, but line can not be considered pure C57BL/6. |
