Type: Gene
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: 6
Alteration at locus: Targeted Mutation
NCBI: 14910
ES Cell Line
W4 derived from 129S6/SvEvTac
Phenotype
Homozygous: Mice homozygous for the R26R CAG-boosted EGFP (RCE) reporter allele harboring an FRT-flanked STOP cassette (RCE:FRT) are viable and fertile. Under control of the endogenous Gt(ROSA)26Sor promoter/enhancer regions and the CMV-IE enhancer/chicken beta-actin/rabbit beta-globin (CAG) hybrid promoter, widespread expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) is prevented by the upstream FRT-flanked STOP cassette. After removal of the FRT-flanked STOP cassette by Flp-mediated recombination, EGFP reporter expression is directed to the cells/tissues dependent upon the expression pattern of the promoter driving FLP recombinase.

Heterozygous: Undetermined.

Allelic Composition: Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1.2(CAG-EGFP)Fsh/Gt(ROSA)26Sor+ (Genetic Background: involves: 129S6/SvEvTac * C57BL/6 * Swiss Webster )

Strain Development
The R26R CAG-boosted EGFP (RCE) reporter targeting vector was designed with (from 5' to 3') the CMV-IE enhancer/chicken beta-actin/rabbit beta-globin hybrid promoter (CAG; from the pCAGGS vector), a splice acceptor site, a loxP-flanked transcriptional STOP cassette (PGK-Neo-polyA and 3x-polyA), an FRT-flanked modified pBS302 STOP cassette, an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) sequence, and two AttP-polyA sequences. This entire construct was inserted into the first exon of the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus via electroporation into 129S6/SvEvTac-derived W4 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into recipient blastocysts, and chimeric mice were bred with C57BL/6 mice to generate the RCE:dual colony (see MMRRC:032036). RCE:dual mice were then bred with a germline Cre-expressing strain (unspecified genetic background) to delete the loxP-flanked transcriptional STOP cassette. The resulting RCE:FRT offspring were mated with outbred Swiss Webster mice for many generations (selectively removing the Cre-expressing transgene), and subsequently maintained as homozygotes prior to arrival at The Jackson Laboratory. Upon arrival, mutant mice were bred to C57BL/6J inbred mice for at least one generation to establish the RCE:FRT colony.

MMRRC Genetic QC Summary
The MMRRC Centers have developed a genetic QC pipeline using MiniMUGA array genotyping to provide additional information on strain backgrounds for MMRRC congenic and inbred strains. For more information on when data may be available, or to request genotyping for a strain of interest, please contact csmmrrc@jax.org. Older strains may not have this information.

Colony and Husbandry Information

When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred together or to wildtype mice from the colony. Homozygous mice may also be bred together.

Cryo-recovered strains distributed by the MMRRC at JAX are shipped to the customer from the Pathogen & Opportunistic-Free Animal Room G200 - see https://www.jax.org/jax-mice-and-services/customer-support/customer-service/animal-health/health-status-reports.

Mice recovered from a cryo-archive will have health surveillance performed on recipient females. Health reports will be provided prior to shipment. If you require additional health status information, please email csmmrrc@jax.org.

Order Request Information

Limited quantities of breeder mice (recovered litter) are available from a cryoarchive; recovered litter usually available to ship in 3 to 4 months.

Cryopreserved material may be available upon request, please inquire to csmmrrc@jax.org for more information.

Distribution of this strain requires submission of the MMRRC Conditions of Use (COU). A link to the COU web form will be provided via email after an order has been placed; the form should be completed then or the email forwarded to your institutional official for completion.

The donor or their institution limits the distribution to non-profit institutions only.

Additional charges may apply for any special requests. Shipping costs are in addition to the basic distribution/resuscitation fees. Information on shipping costs and any additional charges will be provided by the supplying MMRRC facility.

1 The distribution fee covers the expense of rederiving mice from a live mouse; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.

2 An aliquot contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more vials or straws and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to transfer into one to three recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory. Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.

3 An aliquot is one straw or vial with sufficient sperm to recover at least one litter of mice, as per provided protocols, when performed at the MMRRC facility. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning the success of these procedures when performed outside the MMRRC facilities.

4 The distribution fee covers the expense of resuscitating mice from the cryo-archive; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.
