| Catalogue Number | 151718 |
| Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | Prox1 |
| Relevance | Allows specific and temporally controlled cre-loxP recombination (gene inactivation/activation) in Prox1-expressing tissues, including lymphatic endothelia. Efficient recombination is observed during all developmental stages (embryonic, postnatal) and in adults. Currently no other models are available that allow such efficient and specific targetting of lymphatic vasculature. Transgenic mouse expressing tamoxifen-inducible creERT2 under the control of Prox1 gene promoter |
| Production Details | A cDNA encoding tamoxifen inducible Cre recombinase (CreERT2) followed by SV40 polyadenylation signal was introduced into the start codon of Prox1 in BAC clone RP23-190F21 using homologous recombination in bacteria. The construct was validated by PCR and Southern blot analyses, and used for pronuclear injection into fertilised mouse oocytes. Two founder lines were generated and tested by timed matings with Cre reporter strains, followed by 4-OHT administration, for specificity and efficiency of Cre-mediated recombination. One of the founder lines that gave efficient recombination in all Prox1-expressing tissues was kept for further studies. |
