Ple162-EGFP Description:

This Ple162 promoter construct is derived from the promoter region of the Pituitary homeobox 3 (PITX3) gene. The Pleiades Promoter Project created a 3636 bp MiniPromoter derived from an intronic candidate regulatory region and a segment of the PITX3 promoter and introduced it into the multiple cloning site (MCS) of Pleiades expression vector pEMS1306 (EGFP reporter flanked by minimal frt sites) to make plasmid pEMS1358 with Ple162 driving EGFP. The Ple162-EGFP (pEMS1358) 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) mEMS1204.03A. Two ESC lines (mEMS1679 and mEMS1680) were PCR validated. Chimeras were generated using mEMS1679.

Note: a promoterless negative control (pEMS1306) has been generated, as well as a CAG positive controls (pEMS1157, pEMS1277 & pEMS1488).

 

Ple162-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).
