| Strain
Description: |
These mice carry a latent point-mutant allele of Kras2 (K-rasG12D). Cre-mediated recombination leads to deletion of a transcriptional termination sequence (Lox-Stop-Lox) and expression of the oncogenic protein.
Intranasal infection with an adenovirus encoding Cre resulted in a very high frequency of lung tumors. |

|
Husbandry: |
Breeder pairs are supplied as heterozygotes. This Kras allele is non-functional in its germline configuration, therefore the mice are maintained by backcrossing heterozygous animals to C57BL/6. |
