Figure 3. Co-segregation and co-integration of fluorescent eye marker and transgene.

Figure 3

(A) tdTomato fluorescent eye marker co-segregates with and accurately marks the presence of an unrelated transgene (Luc-PB[mut]7). One litter of pups numbered 1-7 is shown. The unrelated transgene was amplified by PCR (upper panel) and the tdTomato marker was visualized under the GFP flashlight in room light (lower panel). (B) Schematic drawing of PCR strategy. One PCR primer (small arrows) was designed against the 3′ end of the Luc-PB[mut]7 transgene (gray box) and the other primer against the αA-crystallin promoter (white box) driving the tdTomato marker transgene. (C) The hybrid PCR product from the transgene concatamer is present in two transgenic animals (+) but not wildtype littermates (−).
