Cellular inheritance of a Cre‐activated reporter gene to determine paneth cell longevity in the murine small intestine
3 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Here, we exploit an absolute differential between stem and progeny cells in their ability to express Cre from a somatically inducible transgene to determine the longevity of intestinal Paneth cells. In the Ahcre transgenic line induction of Cre recombinase allows constitutive activation of a Cre-activated reporter in intestinal precursors but not in Paneth cells. The time taken for Paneth cells to inherit the...
