Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Development of a mouse line permitting live imaging of cells expressing CD41/GpIIb as a means to study megakaryopoiesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The gene encoding yellow fluorescent protein (eyfp) was inserted by homologous recombination into embryonic stem cells at the start site of the gpIIb locus. A knockin mouse line, designated CD41-yellow fluorescent protein (YFP), was developed and was...
