Abstract excerpt
Chk1 is a checkpoint kinase and an important regulator of mammalian cell division. Because null mutation of Chk1 in mice is embryonic lethal, we used the Cre-loxP system and the Lck promoter to generate conditional mutant mice in which Chk1 was deleted only in the T lineage. In the absence of Chk1, the transition of CD4(-)CD8(-) double-negative (DN) thymocytes to CD4(+)CD8(+) double-positive (DP) cells was...
