Cre Portal

The JAX Cre Repository's aim is to provide the scientific community with a centralized, comprehensive set of well-characterized Cre Driver lines and related information resources. Available strains include Cre expressing strains, inducible Cre strains, Cre reporter strains, and loxP-flanked (floxed) strains.

Our extensive characterization data is available through www.creportal.org.

How to cite this resource

The Cre Repository is supported by the Office of Research Infrastructure Programs/Office of the Director grant number OD011190 of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Please reference this grant in citations acknowledging use of the resource.

Characterization protocols

The JAX Cre Repository uses a lacZ Cre-reporter strain, B6.129S4-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1Sor/J, to assess cre activity. β-Galactosidase staining of 10.5 dpc embryos is done inwhole mount. Because of tissue size, 15.5 dpc embryos, postnatal day 7 pups, and 8 week old adult mice are cryo-sectioned prior tostaining of frozen sections.
