molecularNote | A C57BL/6J-derived bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC; RPCI-23-82i24) was modified by inserting an IRES2-eGFP construct (and an frt-flanked neomycin resistance cassette) into the 3' UTR of the Rgs4 locus. The neomycin cassette was subsequently removed by FLP-mediated recombination. Lines 3 and 4 were developed, and line 4 was entered as the representative transgenic allele. Under the control of the RGS4 promoter/enhancer elements, transgene expression reports dynamic developmental, regional, and cellular specific expression in developing and mature cerebral cortex neurons across all cortical domains, as well as developing and mature subcortical regions (telencephalon, diencephalon, and brainstem). |
