ELaI-VMP1

Strain: 

C57BL/6

Description: 

Transgenic mouse in which the pancreas acinar-cell-specific elastase promoter drives VMP1-EGFP expression. The transgene cassette contains the acinar-specific control region (-500 to +8) from the rat elastase I gene and the human growth hormone 3-untranslated region (+500 to +2657) ligated to rat VMP1-EGFP. 

Model type: 

Transgenic

Genetic background: 

C57BL/6

Original strain: 

C57BL/6 x DBA2+TG and C57BL/6

Number of backcrossed generations: 

10.00
