Depositor Comments

MyrTdTomato fragment amplified by high fidelity PCR from plasmid pROSA26-mT-mG (www.addgene.org/17787) was InFusion cloned into BamHI site of pGFAP-EGFR* plasmid obtained from Dr. Eric Holland to construct this plasmid. The ~2.2 kb Gfa2 GFAP promoter in the pGFAP-EGFR* plasmid is presumably the same promoter utilized in the GFAP-tva transgenic mouse in Holland EC and Varmus HE https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.95.3.1218. Addgene NGS sequencing of this plasmid confirmed the Gfa2 promoter sequence in this plasmid is identical to the hGFAP promoter sequences in other Gfa2 plasmids, such as hGFAP-GFP (http://www.addgene.org/40592/) and hGFAP-Cre (http://www.addgene.org/40591/)
