Abstract excerpt
The cardiac-specific tetracycline-regulated gene expression system (tet-system) is a powerful tool using double-transgenic mice. The cardiac alpha-myosin heavy chain promoter (alphaMHC) drives lifetime expression of a tetracycline-inhibited transcription activator (tTA). Crossing alphaMHC-tTA mice with mice containing a tTA-responsive promoter linked to a target gene yields double-transgenic mice having...
