Genetic Alterations
For the construction of the UAS-TATA-PR-B plasmid, the first intron of mouse Pgr was inserted into its proper position in the cDNA in which a mutation had been introduced at the second ATG by site-directed mutagenesis. This fragment was fused to the UAS-TATA fragment excised from pUAST and inserted in place of the CMV-PR cDNA in pCNmPR3 previously constructed by the donor's laboratory. The plasmid containing the transgene was digested with appropriate restriction enzymes to release the transgene and purified before microinjection into the pronuclei of mouse zygotes. Transgenic mice were identified initially by Southern blot analysis, and, once the founder lines were established, they were routinely screened by PCR using tail DNA, as described. Transgene and endogenous Pgr expression were examined by reverse transcription-coupled PCR.

Note: The Tg(Pgr)2Shy allele (MGI:2656725) expresses the Pgr A isoform. See MMRRC:32088

Strain Development
To generate transgenic mice carrying an excess of the B form of Pgr (PR-B) the donor used a binary transgenic system. In this system, the S. cerevisiae GAL4 gene, driven by the murine cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter (CMV-GAL-4 mice), served as the transactivator of the PR-B gene, carrying four GAL4 binding sites (UAS-PR-B mice). Crossing the CMV-GAL-4 mice with UAS- PR-B mice resulted in bigenic mice carrying additional PR-B gene.

These mice have been maintained and genetically monitored for over 10 years. For the year prior to submission to the MMRRC, the transgenic line, PR-BGAL4, was maintained as heterozygous by crossing with wild-type FVB/N.

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 mmrrc@ucdavis.edu 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.
