Origin

The RIPHAT transgene consists of a PCR-generated cDNA encompassing the h-IAPP coding sequence under the regulation of the rat insulin II promoter/5’untranslated region and followed by intron I from the human albumin gene and the polyadenylation site/RNA termination region from the human glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate gene. Hemizygotes of the RHF line described in Couce et al. (Pfizer) were self-crossed to generate F1 offspring. Transgenic offspring were identified by PCR amplification of RIPHAT from tail tissue. Transferred to Charles River under exclusive license in 2011.
