Cancer types: Skin cancer
Research Fields: Cancer;Cell signaling and signal transduction;Developmental biology;Genetics;Stem cell biology
Target: Lef1 N-terminal mutant (constituitive transcirptional activity)
Disease: Cancer

Product description: In vivo study of Lef1 activity in skin; model for hair growth & follicle formation; disease model for skin tumour formation (sebaceous adenoma, sebeoma, squamous papilloma)
Conditional: Yes
Conditional description: Conditional expression of deltaN-Lef1 under Keratin 14 promoter giving tissue-specific epidermal expression.
Genetic background: A deltaNLef1 transgene vector, containing an N-terminally deleted mouse Lef1 cDNA under the control of the keratin 14 promoter, was injected into fertilised CBA/C57BL6 ooctyes. Founders were backcrossed to establish transgenic lines.
