Strain: LE-Viptm1(cre)Sage

Symbol: LE-Viptm1(cre)Sage
Strain: LE-Viptm1(cre)
Substrain: Sage
RGD ID: 12905034
Citation ID: RRID:RGD_12905034
Ontology ID: RS:0004455
Also Known As: TGRL9450 ; VIP-Cre Rat ; LEH-VIP-Cretm1sage; LE-Viptm1(T2A-cre)Sage; LE-Vip^[tm1(cre)Sage]
Type: mutant
Available Source: Horizon Discovery
Origination: Horizon Discovery
Description: This model expresses cre-recombinase under the control of the endogenous vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) promoter enabling specific expression in VIP positive GABAergic interneurons. This model possesses a targeted insertion of (T2A)-cre immediately before the translational stop in the open reading frame of the VIP gene. The VIP-Cre rat is useful for applications requiring tissue specific expression, including optogenetics and breeding with transgenic floxed lines.
Genetic Status: Heterozygous
Last Known Status: Unknown (as of 2017-05-31)
Research Usage Optogenetics Rats
