A global double‐fluorescent Cre reporter mouse Tập 45 Số 9 - Trang 593-605 - 2007
Mandar D. Muzumdar, Bosiljka Tasic, Kazunari Miyamichi, Ling Li, Liqun Luo
AbstractThe Cre/loxP system has been used extensively for conditional
mutagenesis in mice. Reporters of Cre activity are important for defining the
spatial and temporal extent of Cre‐mediated recombination. Here we describe
mT/mG, a double‐fluorescent Cre reporter mouse that expresses membrane‐targeted
tandem dimer Tomato (mT) prior to Cre‐mediated excision and membrane‐targeted
green fluorescent ... hiện toàn bộ
Expression of Cre recombinase in the developing mouse limb bud driven by a Prxl enhancer Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 77-80 - 2002
Malcolm Logan, James F. Martin, András Nagy, Corrinne G. Lobe, Eric N. Olson, Clifford J. Tabin
AbstractSummary: We have used a Prx1 limb enhancer to drive expression of Cre
Recombinase in transgenic mice. This regulatory element leads to Cre expression
throughout the early limb bud mesenchyme and in a subset of craniofacial
mesenchyme. Crossing a murine line carrying this transgene to a reporter mouse
harboring a floxed Cre‐reporter cassette revealed that recombinase activity is
first obser... hiện toàn bộ
hGFAP‐cre transgenic mice for manipulation of glial and neuronal function in vivo Tập 31 Số 2 - Trang 85-94 - 2001
Lang Zhuo, Martin Theis, Ikuri Álvarez-Maya, Michael Brenner, Klaus Willecke, Albee Messing
AbstractWith the goal of performing astrocyte‐specific modification of genes in
the mouse, we have generated a transgenic line expressing Cre recombinase under
the control of the human glial fibrillary acidic protein (hGFAP) promoter.
Activity was monitored by crossing the hGFAP‐cre transgenics with either of two
reporter lines carrying a lacZ gene whose expression requires excision of
loxP‐flanke... hiện toàn bộ
Consequences of knocking out BMP signaling in the mouse Tập 35 Số 1 - Trang 43-56 - 2003
Guang‐Quan Zhao
AbstractSummary: During the past two decades, a significant amount of data has
been accumulated revealing the intriguing functions of bone morphogenetic
proteins (BMPs) in all aspects of embryonic development and organogenesis.
Numerous genes encoding BMPs, BMP receptors, and their downstream signal
transducers have been mutated in the mouse through targeted mutagenesis. This
review focuses on wha... hiện toàn bộ
Efficient, inducible Cre‐recombinase activation in vascular endothelium Tập 46 Số 2 - Trang 74-80 - 2008
Suzanne Claxton, Vassiliki Kostourou, Shalini Jadeja, Pierre Chambon, Kairbaan Hodivala‐Dilke, Marcus Fruttiger
AbstractIn recent years, gene‐targeting studies in mice have elucidated many
molecular mechanisms in vascular biology. However, it has been difficult to
apply this approach to the study of postnatal animals because mutations
affecting the vasculature are often embryonically lethal. We have therefore
generated transgenic mice that express a tamoxifen‐inducible form of Cre
recombinase (iCreERT2) in ... hiện toàn bộ
A CamKIIα iCre BAC allows brain‐specific gene inactivation Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 37-42 - 2001
Emilio Casanova, Sandra Fehsenfeld, Theo Mantamadiotis, Thomas Lemberger, Erich F. Greiner, Andrew F. Stewart, Günther Schütz
AbstractSummary: We describe the generation of transgenic mouse lines expressing
the Cre recombinase enzyme in brain under control of the CamKIIα gene present in
a BAC expression vector. The CamKIIα BAC transgene gave a faithful expression
pattern resembling the pattern of the endogenous CamKIIα gene. Specifically,
high levels of CamKIIα Cre were detected in hippocampus, cortex, and amygdala,
and ... hiện toàn bộ
Generation of Pax2‐Cre mice by modification of a Pax2 bacterial artificial chromosome Tập 38 Số 4 - Trang 195-199 - 2004
Takahiro Ohyama, Andrew K. Groves
AbstractSummary: The Pax2 gene is expressed in the developing otocyst, kidney,
and midbrain–hindbrain boundary. We generated Pax2‐Cre transgenic lines by
modification of a Pax2 bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC). In one Pax2‐Cre
line, Cre mRNA starts to be expressed in the otic placode at the late presomite
stage. R26R reporter mouse analysis revealed that the Cre expression is
sufficient to de... hiện toàn bộ
Characterization of Notch3‐deficient mice: Normal embryonic development and absence of genetic interactions with a Notch1 mutation Tập 37 Số 3 - Trang 139-143 - 2003
Luke T. Krebs, Yingzi Xue, Christine R. Norton, John P. Sundberg, Paul Beatus, Urban Lendahl, Anne Joutel, Thomas Gridley
AbstractThe Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling
mechanism and mutations in its components disrupt cell fate specification and
embryonic development in many organisms. To analyze the in vivo role of the
Notch3 gene in mice, we created a deletion allele by gene targeting. Embryos
homozygous for this mutation developed normally and homozygous mutant adults
were viable and... hiện toàn bộ
