B6.Cg-SstrTTA.LCA.Mgn/Vu

This line expresses the reverse tetracycline-TransActivator (rtTA) under control of the somatostatin gene locus. The mice can be used to drive Tet-responsive gene expression in somatostatin expressing cells. In addition, during gene targeting Lox66 and Lox2272 sites were inserted, enabling the cells to be used for RMCE. These mice remain unpublished but are being used in at least two ongoing studies.

Additional Information

The targeting vector contains 7.3 Kb 5’ and a 3.6 kb 3’ homology arms.  Lox66 and Lox2272 sites were inserted around a 500 bp region of the of Sst promoter and exons I and II of the somatostatin gene. rTTA coding sequences with a beta-globin polyA site replaced exons I and II of the Sst.  The vector also contains FRT-flanked puTK-EM7 Neo selection double selection cassette. PU(delta)TK was used for positive selection for targeting events with puromycin and negative selection for RMCE events with ganciclovir.  EM7-Neo was used for positive selection in bacteria during BAC recombineering process.
