Transgenic mouse lines are characterized with Cre recombinase driven by promoters of CNS-specific genes using bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) constructs. BAC-Cre constructs for 10 genes (, , , , , , , , , and ) produced 14 lines with Cre expression in specific neuronal and glial populations in the brain. These Cre driver lines add functional utility to the >500 BAC-EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein) transgenic mouse lines that are part of the Gene Expression Nervous System Atlas Project.
转基因小鼠品系的特征是使用细菌人工染色体(BAC)构建体,由中枢神经系统特异性基因的启动子驱动Cre重组酶。针对10个基因(,,,,,,,,,和)构建的BAC-Cre构建体产生了14个品系,这些品系在大脑中的特定神经元和神经胶质细胞群体中表达Cre。这些Cre驱动品系为作为基因表达神经系统图谱项目一部分的500多个BAC-EGFP(增强型绿色荧光蛋白)转基因小鼠品系增添了功能实用性。
