Figure 4

Transgenic CAG::mRFP1 mice can be distinguished from CAG::EGFP animals. Macroscopic images of non-transgenic, CAG::mRFP1 Tg/+ and CAG::EGFP Tg/+ newborn (P5) mouse pups demonstrating that red fluorescence can clearly be distinguished from green fluorescence using conventional epifluorescent illumination and macroscopic observation. Dorsal view (A), and ventral view (B), high magnification of tails of 3 month old animals (C). Inspection of fluorescence in the tails is the method used for routine genotyping of these strains.
