Microinjection of cre recombinase RNA induces site-specific recombination of a transgene in mouse oocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a strategy for producing single copy transgenic mouse lines using Cre-loxP site specific recombination. The method is based on transient expression of the recombinase after injection of in vitro transcribed mRNA into the cytoplasm of fertilised eggs containing multiple copies of the transgene. The success rate of the recombination event is 100% (15 out of 15).

Abstract Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production without using SMG is not economically feasible. However, SMGs are non-essential once an intact transgenic plant has been established. Eli...
متن کاملZp3–cre, a transgenic mouse line for the activation or inactivation of loxP-flanked target genes specifically in the female germ line
The site-specific DNA recombinase Cre is being used to develop a new generation of tools for controlling gene expression in mice [1]. Cre mediates the recombination of two directly repeated target (loxP) sites to a single loxP site, with concomitant excision of the DNA segment flanked by the loxP sites (the 'floxed' DNA). Such recombination can function to activate a gene by excising a floxed D...
متن کاملTemporally and spatially regulated somatic mutagenesis in mice.
In mice transgenesis through oocyte injection or DNA recombination in embryonal stem (ES) cells allows mutations to be introduced into the germline. However, the earliest phenotype of the introduced mutation can eclipse later effects. We show in mice that site-specific genomic recombination can be induced in a selected cell type, B lymphocytes, at a chosen time. This precision of somatic mutage...
متن کاملKidney-specific gene targeting.
Gene targeting in mice is a powerful tool for identifying the in vivo functions of proteins and for producing new animal models of human diseases. In the conventional approach, the gene encoding a protein of interest is disrupted by homologous recombination in embryonic stem (ES) cells. Targeted ES cells are injected into blastocysts to produce chimeric mice, which are then bred to produce knoc...
متن کاملSite-specific recombination of a transgene in fertilized eggs by transient expression of Cre recombinase.
An efficient method of transgene modulation in fertilized eggs has been developed that uses the Cre/loxP recombination system. Twelve transgenic mouse lines carrying a chicken beta-actin promoter-loxP-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene-loxP-beta-galactosidase gene construct were produced. After selection of the line showing the highest expression of the CAT gene in a variety of tissue...
