• Background strain: Long Evans Hooded

Availability:Live colony
Zygosity genotype:Homozygous

This model possesses the fluorophore tdTomato, sitting behind a floxed stop codon in the Rosa26 locus under control of the CAG promoter. By introducing Cre-recombinase through viral transduction or crossing with one of our Cre-driver rats, tdTomato fluorescence will be observed anywhere Cre- is expressed. The tdTomato Reporter rat is useful for applications requiring tissue specific expression, including optogenetics and breeding with Cre-driver lines.
