Tg(S100a4-EGFP)M1Egn

The transgenic construct containing sequence encoding EGFP under the control of the mouse S100a4, S100 calcium binding protein A4, promoter. These transgenic mice express GFP under the control of the mouse S100a4, S100 calcium binding protein A4, promoter. All tissue fibroblasts in adult hemizygous mice fluoresce. Woods light examination of the eyes of adult transgenic mice reveal green fluorescence of the fibroblasts of the cornea. Green fluorescing fibroblasts are detected in kidney, liver, lung and heart and occasionally in interstitial organ spaces. Founder line M1 was established. (J:111660)
