Genetic Alterations
ES cell lines containing a transgenic construct consisting of a Red Fluorescent Protein variant gene under the control of a chicken beta actin promoter coupled with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early enhancer upstream of a loxP site flanked beta-geo gene (MMRRC:011987) were transiently exposed to cre-recombinase which excised the beta-geo gene leading to expression of the DsRed.MST transgene.
Genotype Determination
ES Cell Line
G4 derived from (129S6/SvEvTac x C57BL/6Ncr)F1
