This transgenic strain was made by injecting the lentivirus vector containing the GFP construct (vector name FUGW) into Lewis rat embryos. Animals that exhibited fluorescence of tails were mated. Offspring were bred with Lewis wild-type mates to map transgene location. Animals were backcrossed 10 generations onto F344.
Last Known Status:
Live Animals; Cryopreserved Embryo; Cryopreserved Sperm
This transgenic strain contains the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene under the control of the human ubiquitin-C promoter with the woodchuck hepatitis virus posttranscriptional regulatory element (WRE).
