Primary Identifier | MGI:3770670 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Inducible, Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Tg(tetO-TAg)1Efr |
Strain of Origin | C3HeB/FeJ | Induced With | doxycycline/tetracycline |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | To generate the transgene, a fragment containing a tandem array of 7 copies of the tetracycline operator sequence and a cytomegalovirus minimal promoter was placed in front of the SV40 large T antigen gene. The promoter does not allow expression of the TAg gene, and transgenic mice do not develop tumors, unless crossed with mice expressing a tetracycline transactivator gene (tTA or rtTA). |
