Figure 1From: Generation and characterization of transgenic mice expressing mitochondrial targeted red fluorescent protein selectively in neurons: modeling mitochondriopathy in excitotoxicity and amyotrophic lateral sclerosisDesign of Thy1-mitoDsRed construct used to generate tg mice. A tg construct containing the entire open reading frame of the DsRed2 gene (red) fused in frame with the mitochondrial targeting sequence of the human cytochrome c oxidase subunit VIII gene (orange) was cloned into the Thy1.2 expression cassette at the XhoI site by T4 ligation.Back to article page
