Tetracycline-controlled transactivator (tTA) expression was driven by the CaMKII promoter. In its active form, tTA binds to the tetO operator sequence that controls two promoters in opposite direction and initiates expression of the CB1 and Lac Z transgenes. Expression can be inhibited by Dox as it binds to tTA, making it inactive.
