Control Strain
Marker Strain
Gene Affected
luc: luciferase, firefly
Origin
This strain was established at Jichi Medical School. This transgenic rat was originated from LEW (RT1l) strain purchased from Charles River Japan.
Strain characteristics
This strain expresses luciferase ubiquitously driven by the gene trap ROSA 26 promoter. The strength of the transgene expression of this strain is poorer than that of luc11 (NBRP No.0299). The expression of transgene is ubiquitous except for bone-marrow cell and blood.
Breeding Conditions
Good breeding performance.
