Gene Affected
Origin This strain was established at Jichi Medical School.
Strain characteristics This strain expresses the Cre recombinase ubiquitously driven by CAG promoter. The majority of expression of the transgene is detected in the skeletal muscles. Transgene was integrated into the Chr X.
Breeding Conditions Good breeding performance.
Genotyping Genotyping protocol for CAG Promoter Genotyping protocol for Cre
