Background/Overview: USAMRICD has a requirement for procuring Long-Evans-Tg(ChAT-Cre)5.1Deis transgenic rats to conduct optogenetics experiments. USAMRICD is seeking to purchase these bacterial artificial chromosome transgenic rat line expresses Cre recombinase specifically in cholinergic neurons of the central nervous system. This enables targeting of only CNS cholinergic neurons for viral delivery and production of halorhodopsin (NpHR) which is essential for the goals of this research project. The minimum government requirement is to secure the Rat Resource & Research Center (RRRC) breed for Strain # 00658 as necessary to target only central cholinergic neurons for optogenetic interrogation. These characteristics are required to complete the USAMICD research project.
