Information from provider
| Provider | Wolfgang Zimmermann |
| Provider affiliation | Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology |
| Genetic information | Expressed transgene: 424 bp (upstream of translational start) promoter region of human CEACAM5 gene upstream of Simian virus 40 large tumor antigen (SV40 TAg). |
| Phenotypic information | Animals die at an age of 100-120 days probably from starvation (probably caused by closure of pylorus/duodenum by ingrowing tumor); 100% of the mice (5-6 weeks of age) develop invasive stomach adenocarcinomas. |
| Breeding history | Backcrossed to C57BL/6 (more than 20 generations). |
