| Primary Identifier | MGI:3841690 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
| Attribute String | Recombinase | Gene | Tg(SFTPC-cre)11Yo |
| Strain of Origin | C57BL/6 | Is Recombinase | true |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | The transgenic construct contains the 4.1 kb human pro-surfactant protein C promoter (from an RPCl-11 human BAC clone) driving the Cre recombinase sequence. This construct was injected into the pronuclei of C57BL/6 blastocysts. Five founders were generated, and from crosses to transgenic reporter mice, lines 11 and 14 exhibited reporter expression in the lungs. Both lines contain a single transgene copy and were propagated for further study. |
