Abstract excerpt
Conditional gene targeting, based on Cre-lox or other systems, requires frequent genotyping of transgenic mouse populations and monitoring of tissue-specific Cre recombinatory efficiency. This is currently achieved by Southern analysis from tail- and tissue-derived DNA. Multiplex PCR amplification of the floxed (flanked by loxP sites) genomic region, combined with the PCR detection of the Cre transgene,...
