ß-Actin luc

Overview


ß-Actin luc BP
(P/N 119325) Breeding Pair or ß-Actin luc (P/N 119340) Individual Animal

Description: Light producing animal model (LPTA®) FVB/N-Tg(ß-Actin-luc)-Xen, commonly called ß-Actin-luc, carries a 14 kbp fragment of the murine ß-Actin promoter (ß-Actin) isolated from genomic DNA, a chimeric intron, and modified firefly luciferase cDNA (Promega pGL-3). Basal expression of the reporter was highest in skeletal muscle, thymus, skin, heart, bone, pancreas, and detectable in all tissues including white blood cells. The reporter is constitutively expressed and is not significantly inducible. This LPTA® animal model is available from Xenogen Biosciences, Cranbury, New Jersey, USA.
