Genetic information | The transgene comprises the entire 5.0-kb DNA segment that separates the Krt1-19 and Krt1-15 genes in the mouse genome and that contains the Krt1-15 promoter region joined to the cDNA encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). |
Phenotypic information | The Krt1-15 promoter directs expression to the bulge region of the hair follicle; fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS ) analysis demonstrated that highest EGFP expression occurs in bulge cells showing high surface expression of the epithelial stem cell marker integrin beta 1 (fibronectin receptor beta). |
Breeding history | A transgenic construct containing an Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) gene under the control of the mouse keratin complex 1, acidic, gene 15 promoter was injected into fertilized B6SJLF1/J mouse eggs. Founder animals were bred to C57BL/6J mice and backcrossed to the same for a total of ten generations. |
