Abstract excerpt
We report the generation of transgenic mice designed to facilitate the study of vascular and nonvascular smooth muscle biology in vivo. The smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (smMHC) promoter was used to direct expression of a bicistronic transgene consisting of Cre recombinase and enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) coding sequences. Animals expressing the transgene display strong fluorescence confined to...
