Product description: Cdh5(PAC)-CreERT2 enable efficient inducible conditional recombinase expression in embryonic and adult endothelial cells (tissue-specific loxP knockout/knockin/transgene). The Cdh5(PAC)-CreERT2 mouse is an ideal tool in the study of gene function in angiogenesis, atherosclerosis and neovascularisation.
Conditional: Yes
Conditional description: Conditional Cre-ERT2 expression under Cdh5(PAC) promoter in endothelial cells; inducible Cre activity by treatment with hormone (tamoxifen), inducing translocation of Cre-ERT2 to nucleus.
CRISPR: Yes
Genetic background: A Cdh5(PAC)-CreERT2 transgene vector, containing a genomic Cdh5(PAC) promoter fragment fused to a CreERT2 cDNA, was injected into fertilised embryos (C57BL/6 or FVB/N). Founder lines were back-crossed to establish mice heterozygous for the Cdh5(PAC)-CreERT2 transgene.
Production details: A Cdh5(PAC)-CreERT2 transgene vector, containing a genomic Cdh5(PAC) promoter fragment fused to a CreERT2 cDNA, was injected into fertilised embryos (C57BL/6 or FVB/N). Founder lines were back-crossed to establish mice heterozygous for the Cdh5(PAC)-CreERT2 transgene.
Additional notes: The Cdh5(PAC)-CreERT2 mouse exhibits tissue-specific expression of an inducible Cre-ERT2 fusion protein, enabling tamoxifen-induced Cre recombinase activity in vascular endothelial cells. Administration of tamoxifen induces nuclear translocation of the Cre-ERT2 fusion protein, and subsequent Cre recombinase activity, allowing knockout/knockin/transgene studies of loxP-flanked genes in vascular endothelial cells. Non-induced Cdh5(PAC)-CreERT2 mice demonstrate no Cre recombinase activity, while tamoxifen-induced Cdh5(PAC)-CreERT2 mice demonstrate high penetrance in vascular endothelial cells (95%+).
