Description
Homozygous generally embryonic lethal, behave abnormal blood vessel development. In this strain, iCre-ERT2 recombinase expression is under the control of Cdh5 promoter. An iCre-ERT2 sequence cassette was placed between the coding sequence of exon 2 and 5’UTR of the Cdh5 gene, and the expression of endogenous Cdh5 gene in mice was disrupted. When crossed with a strain containing a loxP-site flanked sequence of interest, and induced with Tamoxifen, Cre-mediated recombination will result in deletion of the floxed sequence in the offspring.
Application
•Function research of genes
•Research on cardiovascular system, tumor and cell differentiation mechanism
Phenotype analysis
