| Primary Identifier | MGI:2182290 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
| Attribute String | Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Tg(CD2-Il5)5C1Ldt |
| Strain of Origin | CBA/Ca | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| description | Founders Tg5C1 and Tg5C2 carry 8 and 49 copies of the transgene, respectively, and express 65X and 265X the amount of blood eosinophils of nontransgenic littermates, respectively. |
| molecularNote | 10 kb of genomic mouse Il5 sequences under the control of the dominant control region (DCR) from human CD2 was used for the transgene. This region drives thymocyte and T-cell specific expression. Northern blot analysis confirmed transgene expression in the thymus, Peyer's patches and subcutaneous lymph nodes of transgenic animals. |
