Conditional Recombination Reveals Distinct Subsets of Epithelial Cells in Trachea, Bronchi, and Alveoli
29 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
To identify relationships amongst tracheal and alveolar epithelial cells during lung development, we used conditional systems controlled by the rat CCSP and human SFTPC gene promoters to express Cre-recombinase in the developing mouse lung, thereby permanently labeling cells by expression of alkaline phosphatase or green fluorescent protein. When controlled by the rat CCSP promoter, continuous exposure of the...
