Animal Model B6.129P2-Lyzstm1(cre)Ifo/J

Abstract

This strain expresses Cre recombinase from the endogenous Lyzs locus. When crossed with a strain containing loxP site flanked sequence of interest, Cre-mediated recombination results in deletion of the targeted gene in the myeloid cell lineage, including monocytes, mature macrophages, and granulocytes. Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. This strain represents an effective tool for generating myeloid cell-specific targeted mutants.
