| Primary Identifier | MGI:3800823 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
| Attribute String | Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Tg(Prnp-Abca1)EHol |
| Strain of Origin | (C57BL/6 x CBA)F1 | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | A transgenic construct containing the mouse Abca1 (ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A (ABC1), member 1) gene under the control of the mouse Prnp (prion protein) promoter was injected into fertilized B6CBAF1 eggs. Founder line E was subsequently established. These founder line E mice have a 6-fold increase in expression of ABCA1 in the cortex over wildtype levels. Transgene expression is high in total brain tissue, kidney, testis and muscle as detected by Western blot analysis. |
