This transgene contains the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter and a portion of the mouse Myc (myelocytomatosis) oncogene minus exon 1. The construct was also called MTV-Xba myc. The founder mouse carried 2 insertions of the transgene that were later separated via breeding into lines carrying either Tg(MMTV-cmyc)164-4aLed or Tg(MMTV-cmyc)164-4bLed. (J:29013)
