Combinatorial expression of three distinct fluorescent proteins can generate a large spectrum of colours Ten distinct colours can be generated by expressing a trimeric combination of three different XFPs. In Brainbow mice, this outcome would result if three copies of a trichromatic transgene, each recombined independently Nat Rev Neurosci. 2008 June; 9(6): 417–422
Multicolour neuronal labelling in Brainbow transgenic mice • Nat Rev Neurosci. 2008 June; 9(6): 417–422. A A motor nerve innervating ear muscle. b | An axon tract in the brainstem. c | The hippocampal dentate gyrus. In the Brainbow mice from which these images were taken, up to ~160 colours were observed as a result of the co-integration of several tandem copies of the transgene into the mouse genome and the independent recombination of each by Cre recombinase (see FIG. 2c). The images were obtained by the superposition of separate red, green and blue channels.
