col2a1a-EGFP

Strain information
Strain ID TG1250
Strain Name col2a1a-EGFP
Strain Type Transgenics
Characteristics Collagen, typeII, alpha 1a (col2a1a) is an extracellular matrix component of cartilaginous tissues. A fosmid clone (GOLWFno679_c08) including the col2a1a gene, which was identified from the Medaka ensemble database, was used for homologous recombination. The EGFP-kanamycin cassette was recombined into exon 1 of the medaka col2a1a gene. The medaka Cab line was used for establishment of the col2a1a-EGFP transgenic medaka. The EGFP expression is mainly observed in notochord and cartilaginous elements of the head.
Notes Please note that we will use sperms without dmy gene for the artificial insemination.

(A) Dorso-lateral view of a day-5 embryo. EGFP-expression is mainly observed in the notochord. (B) Ventral view of a just hatched larva. EGFP expresses in the cartilaginous elements of the head (green). (C, D) Lateral views of a just hatched larva. EGFP expresses in the notochord cells (C, D) and the cartilaginous cells of caudal fin (arrowheads in D).
