Abstract excerpt
The Ikaros gene encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor required during early B cell development, as B-lineage cells are absent in mice lacking Ikaros. Here we describe a novel Ikaros-targeted mouse line carrying a beta-galactosidase reporter in which low amounts of Ikaros proteins remain expressed. In homozygote animals, B cells are absent during fetal development, but develop postnatally from a reduced pool...
