Primary Identifier | MGI:2446675 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Dominant negative, Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Tg(Lck-ADPRT)1Tmo |
Strain of Origin | (C57BL/6 x C3H)F1 | Is Recombinase | false |
Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | The Lck promoter was observed to drive expression in the T-cell containing tissues including the thymus, spleen and lymph nodes. The highest levels of expression were observed in thymic tissue. Immunohistochemical analysis of T-cell containing tissues confirmed overexpression of a dominant negative peptide consisting of the DNA binding domain (residues 1 through 376) of the human ADP-ribosyltransferase protein. Analysis of thymocytes obtained from mice originating from founder line 2, showed ADP-ribose polymer formation to be inhibitied. |
