Tg(tetO/Prnp-GLRA1*,-EYFP)9518Jjan

The transgene has a Tet-responsive element 3G promoter and the mouse prion protein non-coding exons 1-2 upstream of a cassette containing an enhanced yellow fluorescent reporter (EYFP) flanked on either side by a human glycine receptor alpha1 (GLRA1) cDNA sequence harboring the point mutations F207A (to eliminate endogenous ligand [glycine] sensitivity) and A288G (to increase ivermectin sensitivity almost 100-fold), followed by the mouse prion protein non-coding exon 3 and the woodchuck hepatitis post-transcriptional regulatory element (WPRE). To achieve tricistronic expression of the point mutations and EYFP, they are separated by T2A peptide sequences (from Thosea asigna virus). (J:232624)
