Rosa26{228.3TF.GFP.Cre} mouse ESC line
A mouse ESC line in which part or all of the targeted gene, gene trap ROSA 26, Philippe Soriano (NCBI Gene ID: 14910) is replaced to create 3TF.GFP-Cre using the Loxed Cassette Acceptor allele Rosa26{tm1(LCA)}). This cell line contains TetO-regulated genes inserted into the Rosa26{LCA} allele by RMCE. The TetO/miniCMV promoter was placed (at -228) upstream of the putative ROSA26 transcription start site and drives the expression of a polycistronic mRNA with transcription factors MafA, Pdx1, and Ngn3 together with a GFP-Cre fusion protein. The sequences are linked by 2A peptide cleavage sequences. In this cell line, when the effector protein rtTA is expressed, all three transcription factors and GFP-Cre will be over-expressed simultaneously upon administration of doxycyline.
