Tool Details
*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY (for other uses, please contact the licensing team)
- Tool name: Pdgfrb-Cre Mouse
- Research fields: Cancer;Genetics;Immunology;Tissue-specific biology
- Tool sub type: Mouse
- Disease: Cancer
- Model: Conditional KO
- Conditional: Yes
- Conditional description: Pdgfrb-Cre enables conditional, pericyte and smooth vascular muscle cell knockout/knockin/transgene expression of loxP flanked genes.
- Description: Cre expressed under Pdgfrb promoter enabling conditional recombine expression in pericytes and smooth vascular muscle cells (tissue-specific loxP knockout/knockin)
- Genetic background: A Pdgfrb-Cre transgene vector, containing a genomic Pdgfrb promoter fragment fused to Cre recombinase and a polyA sequence, was injected into fertilised 129/C57BL6 oocytes. Founder lines were backcrossed to establish transgenic lines on a mixed 129/C57BL6 background.
- Production details: A Pdgfrb-Cre transgene vector, containing a genomic Pdgfrb promoter fragment fused to Cre recombinase and a polyA sequence, was injected into fertilised 129/C57BL6 oocytes. Founder lines were backcrossed to establish transgenic lines on a mixed 129/C57BL6 background.
Handling
