Figure 3. Transgenic reporter mice expressing Caspase 3/7 GloSensor.
A) Schematic of the pCLEX Caspase 3/7 GloSensor transgene construct. B) Excision of the floxed EGFP-stop cassette when crossed with a Cre expressing mouse strain should result in tissue specific transcription of the reporter. C) Representative bioluminescence images of bi-transgenic (for the reporter and p48-Cre) or mono-transgenic (transgenic for the reporter in the absence of Cre) animals pre- and 30 hrs post-cerulein injection (75 ug/kg, total of 12 injections in 48 hrs). D) Quantification of BLI signal induction upon cerulein treatment. E) Representative bioluminescent and fluorescent (EGFP) ex-vivo images of pancreata from mono- or bi-transgenic animals. F) Representative bioluminescence images of bi-transgenic (right) or mono-transgic (left) animals.
