Abstract excerpt
The Cre/loxP recombination system can be used to circumvent many of the limitations of generalized gene ablation in mice. Here we present the development and characterization of transgenic mice in which Cre recombinase has been targeted to cells of the osteoblast lineage with 2.3 kb (Col 2.3-Cre) and 3.6 kb (Col 3.6-Cre) fragments of the rat Col1a1 promoter. Cre mRNA was detected in calvaria and long bone of...
