Targeting Strategy
-
A CAG promoter, TdTomato coding sequence, and WPRE sequence were knocked into the ROSA site, and an LSL (loxp-3 × stop-loxp) sequence was inserted between the CAG promoter and the TdTomato sequence. This mouse normally does not express red fluorescence due to the presence of 3 × stop. When mated with Cre mice or TAM-activated CreERT2 mice, the lox-flanked 3x stop sequence got excised by Cre recombinase in the offspring, thus TdTomato is expressed, which can emit red fluorescence in Cre or CreERT2 expressing tissues, indicating the location of the gene.

Phenotype
T cells were isolated from spleen in single positive mice and double-positive mice.The proportion of lymphocyte subpopulation were analyzed by flow cytometry.
Results: tdTomato+ cells were detected in the double-positive mice
Protein expression analysis (peripheral blood)
T cells were isolated from peripheral blood in the single positive mice and the double- positive mice. The proportion of lymphocyte subpopulation were analyzed by flow cytometry.
Results: tdTomato+ cells were detected in the double-positive mice.
