Experimental overview of the generation of double-transgenic Myc/Bcl-XL mice. (A) Generation of Myc transgenic mice. Shown are the normal mouse Igh locus (top) and the targeted Igh locus with the inserted MycHis gene (bottom). The transcriptional orientation of Igh and MycHis is indicated by a black and a red arrow, respectively. (B) Generation of Bcl-XL transgenic mice. Depicted is a scheme of the Bcl-x transgene, which consists of the mouse 3′ κ enhancer; the promoter of the mouse variable κ gene, Vκ21; the mouse Bcl-x cDNA fused to the Flag epitope_encoding sequence; and the 3′ untranslated region of the human growth hormone (3′ hGH), a facilitator of Bcl-x expression. (C) Myc/Bcl-XL bitransgenics were on a mixed genetic background containing alleles from strains C57BL/6, 129SvJ, and FVB/N.
