Generation of Atoh1-rtTA transgenic mice: a tool for inducible gene expression in hair cells of the inner ear

Atoh1 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that controls differentiation of hair cells (HCs) in the inner ear and its enhancer region has been used to create several HC-specific mouse lines. We generated a transgenic tetracycline-inducible mouse line (called Atoh1-rtTA) using the Atoh1 e...
