Emergency prevention of extinction of a transgenic allele in a less-fertile transgenic mouse line by crossing with an inbred or outbred mouse strain coupled with assisted reproductive technologies.

Abstract excerpt

Certain transgenic mouse lines are difficult to breed or archive and, consequently, their transgenes become lost. We examined a C57BL/6 mouse line (B6-tg), transgenic for green fluorescent protein (GFP) with low fertility, and its crosses with the more prolific inbred C3HeB/FeJ (C3) and outbred Swiss (SW) strains in order to assess the possibility of emergency prevention of extinction of a transgenic allele by...
