CMV-luc
Overview
CMV-luc BP (P/N 119327) Breeding Pair or CMV luc (P/N 119343) Individual Animal
Light producing animal model (LPTA®) FVB/N 129SvEvBrd-Tg(CMV-luc)-Xen, commonly called CMV-luc, carries a 1058 bp Bg/II - NheI fragment of plasmid pRL-CMV containing a Cytomegalovirus promoter (CMV), a chimeric intron, and modified firefly luciferase cDNA (Promega pGL-3). Basal expression of the reporter was highest in skin and testes, and noticeable in all tissues. The reporter is constitutively expressed and is not significantly inducible. This LPTA® animal model is available from Xenogen Biosciences, Cranbury, New Jersey, USA.| Model: | Miscellaneous Disease Model |
