Conditional epidermal expression of TGFβ1 blocks neonatal lethality but causes a reversible hyperplasia and alopecia
31 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
To study the role of transforming growth factor type beta1 (TGFbeta1) in epidermal growth control and disease, we have generated a conditional expression system by using the bovine keratin 5 promoter to drive expression of the tetracycline-regulated transactivators tTA and rTA, and a constitutively active mutant of TGFbeta1 linked to the tetO target sequence for the transactivator. This model allows for induction...
