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
