*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

  • Tool name: K14MycER Mouse
  • Tool sub type: Mouse
  • Disease: Cancer; Telogen effluvium
  • Conditional: Yes
  • Conditional description: Conditional expression of MycER under Keratin 14 promoter giving tissue-specific epidermal expression
  • Description: In vivo study of Myc activation in skin; in vivo study of skin cell proliferation & differentiation (sebocytes, epidermis)
  • Genetic background: A MycER transgenic vector, containing a c-Myc-2 cDNA fused to the hormone-binding domain of a mutant mouse estragen receptor under the control of the keratin 14 promoter, was injected into fertilised CBA/C57BL6 ooctyes. Founders were backcrossed to establish transgenic lines.
  • Phenotype: Skin abnormalities (hyperproliferation; hair follicle; sebaceous gland);
  • Production details: A MycER transgenic vector, containing a c-Myc-2 cDNA fused to the hormone-binding domain of a mutant mouse estragen receptor under the control of the keratin 14 promoter, was injected into fertilised CBA/C57BL6 ooctyes. Founders were backcrossed to establish transgenic lines.
