Heterogeneous transgene expression in the retinas of the TH-RFP, TH-Cre, TH-BAC-Cre and DAT-Cre mouse lines.
Transgenic mouse lines are essential tools for understanding the connectivity, physiology and function of neuronal circuits, including those in the retina. This report compares transgene expression in the retina of a tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-red fluorescent protein (RFP) mouse line with three catecholamine-related Cre recombinase mouse lines [TH-bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-, TH-, and...
متن کاملTg(Th-Cre)FI172Gsat (Th-Cre) defines neurons that are required for full hypercapnic and hypoxic reflexes
The catecholaminergic (CA) system has been implicated in many facets of breathing control and offers an important target to better comprehend the underlying etiologies of both developmental and adult respiratory pathophysiologies. Here, we used a noninvasive DREADD-based pharmacogenetic approach to acutely perturb Tg(Th-Cre)FI172Gsat (Th-Cre)-defined neurons in awake and unrestrained mice in an...
متن کاملCre-mediated recombination efficiency and transgene expression patterns of three retinal bipolar cell-expressing Cre transgenic mouse lines
PURPOSE Retinal bipolar cells, comprising multiple types, play an essential role in segregating visual information into multiple parallel pathways in the retina. The ability to manipulate gene expression in specific bipolar cell type(s) in the retina is important for understanding the molecular basis of their normal physiological functions and diseases/disorders. The Cre/LoxP recombination syst...
متن کاملExpression of Cre recombinase in alveolar epithelial cells of the AQP2-Cre transgenic mini-pigs.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Optimal use of Cre mediated recombination in conditional animal models depends on well characterized Cre driver lines. Unfortunately, some Cre driver lines exhibit unexpected expression patterns hindering their utility in Cre/loxP systems. Thus, systematic assessment of new Cre lines is essential for generating useful Cre driver lines for future studies. METHODS Here, we descr...
متن کاملFoxn1[Cre] Expression in the Male Germline
Foxn1 (forkhead box N1), also known as the nude gene or winged-helix nude (Whn), is a forkhead transcription factor thought to be restricted to keratinocytes in the skin and thymus. Consistent with this tissue distribution, spontaneous or targeted mutation of Foxn1 results in the absence of both hair and a thymus. Genetic manipulation of the Foxn1 locus thus represents a powerful tool for tissu...
