Appearance
Strain developmentDeveloped by Kenji Tanaka, Columbia University in 2007. C57BL/6 and 129S6 mixed background.
Strain descriptionMlc1-tTA transgenic mice. These transgenic mice express tetracycline-controlled transactivator (tTA) gene under the control of the mouse Mlc1 promoter. tTA expression is detected in Mlc1 positive astrocytes.
