Target: Cre recombinase under Pdgfrb promoter
Disease: Cancer
Model: Conditional KO
Product description: Cre expressed under Pdgfrb promoter enabling conditional recombine expression in pericytes and smooth vascular muscle cells (tissue-specific loxP knockout/knockin)
Conditional: Yes
Conditional description: Pdgfrb-Cre enables conditional, pericyte and smooth vascular muscle cell knockout/knockin/transgene expression of loxP flanked genes.
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.
