description | Homozygous transgenic mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. All tissues from hemizygous animals display fluorescence in all cell types under appropriate lighting conditions. Homozygotes fluoresce with twice the intensity of the hemizygotes. Notable exceptions to this phenotype are erythrocytes and adipocytes in which fluorescence is negligible or absent. |
molecularNote | The transgene contains an Enhanced Yellow Fluorescent Protein gene under the control of the a chicken beta actin promoter coupled with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early enhancer. |
