H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell lineBruce 4 [B6.Cg-Thy1<a>]
Background strainC57BL/6JJcl
Appearance
Strain developmentDeveloped by Takaharu Okada, RIKEN Research Center for Allergy and Immunology around 2007-2009. Bruce 4 ES cells were used and mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6J for 5 generations.
Strain descriptionThe monomeric yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) gene was inserted in-frame right after the initiation codon of the Bcl6 gene such that the product of this allele would be the YFP-Bcl6 fusion protein. Bcl6 protein expression can be analyzed by flow cytometry. Fluorescence of YFP-Bcl6 in most most cell types is too dim to be analyzed by microscopy unless cells/tissues are stained with anti-GFP and a fluorescent dye-labeled secondary antibody. YFP-Bcl6 is functionally compromised, possibly because fusion with YFP near the BTB domain of Bcl6 might impair recruitment of the corepressor molecules or disrupt the formation of Bcl6 homodimers or heterodimers with other BTB domain-containing transcription factors. Therefore, homozygous animals are hypomorphic. Heterozygous animals are largely normal.
