Non-invasive instant genotyping of fluorescently labelled transgenic mice.
Fluorescence proteins have been useful as genetic reporters for a wide range of applications in biomedical research and are frequently used for the analysis of transgene activity. Here, we show that expression levels of the ubiquitously expressed fluorescent proteins eGFP, mCherry, and tdTomato can be measured in transgenic mouse lines with random or targeted integrations. We identified the tai...
متن کاملRapid non-invasive genotyping of reporter transgenic mammals.
Here we describe a non-invasive method for rapid and highly reproducible genotyping of transgenic mammals with ubiquitous expression of fluorophore reporters. Hair samples from transgenic mice and pigs with systemic expression of the fluorophore reporter Venus were analyzed with a fluorescence microscope in few minutes. The hair samples can be preserved for long-term storage at ambient temperat...
متن کاملNon-invasive genotyping of transgenic mice: comparison of different commercial kits and required amounts.
The usefulness of genetically modified mice is discussed critically. Nevertheless, their number has increased dramatically over the past years. A principle for the use these mice is the isolation of DNA to determine whether an individual carries the genetic modification or not. This "genotyping" is usually done by invasive tissue sampling, e.g. tail biopsies, which likely causes discomfort and ...
متن کاملAnalysis of NSP4 Gene and Its Association with Genotyping of Rotavirus Group A in Stool Samples
Background: Non-structural protein 4 (NSP4) is a critical protein for rotavirus (RV) replication and assembly. This protein has multiple domains and motifs that predispose its function and activity. NSP4 has a sequence divergence in human and animal RVs. Recently, 14 genotypes (E1-E14) of NSP4 have been identified, and E1 and E2 have been shown to be the most common genotypes in human. Methods:...
متن کاملNon-invasive visualization of the lipid product of class I PI3K in transgenic mouse models.
PI3Ks (phosphoinositide 3-kinases) regulate many critical cellular responses by producing PI(3,4,5)P(3) (phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate). To facilitate the spatio-temporal characterization of PI(3,4,5)P(3) in living primary cells, we generated a novel strain of transgenic mice [AktPH (Akt pleckstrin homology domain)-GFP (green fluorescent protein) Tg (transgenic) mice] that express a ...
