Ple93-EGFP (Negative)

Ple93-EGFP Description:

The Ple93 promoter construct is derived from the promoter region of the G-protein coupled receptor 88 (GPR88) gene. The Pleiades Promoter Project created a 3783 bp MiniPromoter derived from two upstream candidate regulatory regions, along with a segment of the promoter and introduced them into the multiple cloning site (MCS) of Pleiades expression vector pEMS1306 (EGFP reporter flanked by minimal frt sites) to make plasmid pEMS1161 with Ple93 driving EGFP. The Ple93-EGFP (pEMS1161) was introduced by homologous recombination as a single copy insertion into the Hprt1b-m3 locus in the X Chromosome of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) mEMS1204. Four ESC lines (mEMS1555, mEMS1557, mEMS1566, and mEMS1582) were PCR validated. Chimeras were generated using mEMS1555.

Note: Promoterless negative controls (pEMS1302, pEMS1306, pEMS1313) have been generated, as well as CAG positive controls (pEMS1157, pEMS1277 & pEMS1488).

Ple93-EGFP Expression Pattern:

No EGFP expression was detected above background in native fluorescence under epi or confocal microscopy. Anti GFP immunostaining (rabbit polyclonal, Invitrogen) did not detect specific GFP expression above background across numerous brain regions (brightfield).
