Pan‐myocardial expression of Cre recombinase throughout mouse development
1 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Mouse-lines expressing Cre recombinase in a tissue-specific manner are a powerful tool in developmental biology. Here, we report that a 3 kb fragment of the Xenopus laevis myosin light-chain 2 (XMLC2) promoter drives Cre recombinase expression in a cardiac-restricted fashion in the mouse embryo. We have isolated two XMLC2-Cre lines that express recombinase exclusively within cardiomyocytes, from the onset of...
