Genetic Alterations
Random insertion of a tetO-driven transgene construct comprising Cxcl12 and tdTomato, separated from Cxcl12 by a 2A self-cleaving peptide.
Phenotype
Transgenic overexpression of murine Cxcl12 and tdTomato under the control of Tet(O) promoter by doxycycline. CXCL12 is secreted but tdTomato is membrane-bound to the cell that transcribes the gene. Crossing this strain with specific Tet(ON) strains will allow specific overexpression.

Conditional phenotype: Only overexpressed by crossing with an rtTA line (e.g., MMRRC:14112); upon addition of doxycycline (by chow or water)

Strain Development

The transgenic construct "pRP(Exp)-TRE3G>6xHis/CXCL12/T2A/tdTomato" was injected into C57BL/6J mice, and 7 founders were identified. The founders were backcrossed once to C57BL/6J mated with B6.Cg-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(rtTA*M2)Jae/J mice (RRID:IMSR_JAX:006965). The progeny were then sibling-crossed or crossed between different founders and screened for the presence of the transgene, for expansion of the colony. Prior to archival at the MMRRC, the rtTA allele was bred out with C57BL/6J.

Suggested Control Mice
C57BL/6J
