Gene Affected
lacZ: beta-galactosidase, E. coli
Origin
This strain was established at Jichi Medical School.
Strain characteristics
This transgenic strain expresses LacZ gene ubiquitously driven by CAG promoter. The majority of expression of the transgene is detected in the skeletal muscle. The strain NBRP No.0280 (line30) is more strongly stained by X-gal staining.
Breeding Conditions
Good breeding performance.
