Cre Mouse Models

Inquire!

The Cre-Lox system is a powerful gene manipulation tool that enables controlled gene expression in a specific tissue or by induction in mouse models. Such controlled/ conditional gene expression or ablation enables deeper study of gene function without problems such as artificial phenotype(s) and embryonic lethality.

Applied StemCell offers several ready-to-use, mouse models expressing Cre recombinase under the control of various tissue-specific and/or inducible promoters as well as Cre-reporter mice:

  • Well-characterized Cre driver mouse lines
  • Generate temporal and/or spatial control of gene expression mouse models
  • Breed with your loxP floxed mice or we can generate a custom floxed mouse for you using our PrimeCKo™ Conditional Mouse Model Generation Service; in your facility or ours

Validation Data for Alb-CreERT2 Mouse Line

Strain Name: B6.129-Albtm1.1(CreERT2)/Asc Strain Background: B6;129

The albumin (Alb) gene encodes albumin, one of the most abundant protein in the blood and is expressed in the liver. The albumin gene promoter regulates transcription in terminally differentiated hepatic tissues and is an effective tool to study gene function in hepatocytes or hepatic tissue. In this Alb-Cre driver mouse line, a tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase (CreERT2) was inserted into exons 1-7 in the endogenous albumin locus.

Figure 2. Immunofluorescence analysis of liver using anti-Alb (green) and anti-LacZ (red) antibodies showed that Cre is expressed in most hepatocytes.
