To facilitate the use of the new mutant resource developed in the mouse, we have generated Cre and FlpO deleter mice on a pure inbred C57BL/6N background (Birling et al., 2012).

The new transgenic constructs were designed to drive either the Cre or the FlpO recombinases, fused to a specific fluorescent marker (respectively the eGFP or the eYFP) and were inserted in the neutral Rosa26 locus.

IngGen_Cre and Flp deleter lines

 

They allow a rapid, cost-effective and efficient identification of the carrier individuals through the co-expression of the fluorescent marker. The main advantages of these deleters are:

  • Preservation of a pure genetic background when used to remove specific selection cassette or to induce complete loss-of-function allele (pure inbred C57BL/6N background)
  • Insertion in the Rosa26 locus
  • Simplicity of genotype identification (fluorescence evaluation)
  • High and stable recombination efficiency (up to 100%)
  • Expression of Cre and FlpO in developing oocytes respectively of the transmission of the Cre and FlpO transgenes
