Tg(Gad2-EGFP)30Gsz

A genomic clone, containing a 5.5 kb upstream region and the first six exons of the mouse GAD2 (GAD65) gene, was modified to express the eGFP marker gene without its own translation start site. The EGFP cDNA was fused in frame to the third exon of the Gad2 (GAD65) gene. Expression of eGFP occurs almost exclusively in the GABAergic neurons in many brain regions, including the neocortex and hippocampus. Line 30 was created. (J:245841)
