Abstract excerpt
We previously developed a method termed "toxin receptor-mediated cell knockout" (TRECK). By the TRECK method, a single or repeated shot(s) of diphtheria toxin (DT) conditionally ablates a specific cell population from transgenic mice expressing the DT receptor transgene under the control of a cell type-specific promoter. In some cases of TRECK, frequent and high-dose administration of DT is required, raising the...
