Tg(MMTV-vHaras)SH1Led

This transgene contains the MMTV (mouse mammary tumor virus) promoter and an allele of the Harvey rat sarcoma viral oncogene (viral) carrying two activating point mutations: one in codon 12, Gly12Arg, and one in codon 59, Ala59Thr. The transgenic construct was reported to be highly expressed in the mammary glands and salivary glands, expressed in the Harderian glands, thymus and spleen, slightly expressed in the lungs, ovaries and kidneys, and little or no expression was reported to have been observed in the liver and skeletal muscle of these mice.
