Germ-Line Recombination Activity of the Widely Used hGFAP-Cre and Nestin-Cre Transgenes

Germ-Line Recombination Activity of the Widely Used hGFAP-Cre and Nestin-Cre Transgenes

Herein we demonstrate with PCR, immunodetection and reporter gene approaches that the widely used human Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (hGFAP)-Cre transgene exhibits spontaneous germ-line recombination activity in leading to deletion in brain, heart and tail tissue with high frequency. The ectopic...
