BRC No.RBRC02250
TypeTransgeneCartagena
SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameC57BL/6J-Tg(CAG-Cox8/EGFP)49Rin
Former Common namemtGFP-Tg
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell line
Background strainC57BL/6JJcl
Appearanceblack [a/a B/B C/C]
Strain developmentDeveloped by Hiroshi Shitara and Hiromichi Yonekawa, Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science in 2001. C57BL/6J background.
Strain descriptionThese transgenic express GFP in mitochondoria. This strain is useful for morphological analysis of mitochondoria in vivo. Tg hemizygous mice have a tendency to exhibit small body size, and females of hemizygote show lower reproductive performance. Homozygous mice are infertile.
Colony maintenanceCarrier x Noncarrier [C57BL/6JJcl]
