Hematopoiesis is severely altered in mice with an induced osteoblast deficiency

Abstract excerpt

We previously reported a transgenic mouse model expressing herpesvirus thymidine kinase (TK) gene under the control of a 2.3-kilobase fragment of the rat collagen alpha1 type I promoter (Col2.3 Delta TK). This construct confers lineage-specific expression in developing osteoblasts, allowing the conditional ablation of osteoblast lineage after treatment with ganciclovir (GCV). After GCV treatment these mice have...
