Description
MTA required. This conditional Cre-Rat also contains the Cre recombinase gene paired with SMHC-CreERT2 promoter construct which targets the vascular smooth muscle cells and is inserted into the rat genome using Applied Stemcell’s proprietary integrase-based TARGATT™ technology and is guaranteed expression of the Cre gene driver by the chosen promoter. Furthermore, DNA recombinase activity is induced by Tamoxifen, so that this transgenic rat model will be conditional and inducible.
