Abstract: Bright-field microscopy images of serial coronal brain sections showing Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (Camk2a) promoter expression in a bigenic Camk2a-tetracycline-transactivator (tTA) mouse brain (case 317.8, adult female), using a driver-reporter construct in which the Camk2a-tTA promoter regulates the expression of the E. coli derived LacZ reporter gene encoding β-galactosidase, which is visualized histologically using X-gal (5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-d-galactopyranoside) as a substrate. Methodological details are provided...
