CYP3a11-luc

Overview


CYP3a11-luc BP
(P/N 119279) Breeding Pair or CYP3a11-luc (P/N 119301) Individual Animal

Light producing animal model (LPTA®) FVB/N-Tg(Cyp3a11-luc)-Xen, commonly called Cyp3a11-luc, carries a transgene containing a 5.9 kb 5' flanking region of murine cytochrome p450 3a11 (Cyp3a11) promoter, a 200 bp chimeric intron, and modified firefly luciferase cDNA (Promega pGL-3). Basal expression of the reporter in both males and females is high in the intestine. Injection of dexamethasone resulted in a time-dependent induction of luciferase expression, primarily in liver, while seven other tested compounds had minimal effect. This LPTA® animal model is available from Xenogen Biosciences, Cranbury, New Jersey, USA

Applications

The Cyp3a11-luc LPTA® animal model is useful in studying the kinetics of the mouse Cyp3a11 gene regulation by xenobiotics and Cyp3a11-mediated drug-drug interactions.
