Abstract excerpt
To address the functions of human CXCL8 (hCXCL8)/IL-8 through hCXCR1 in vivo, we have developed a humanized, transgenic mouse for hCXCR1. This mouse line is versatile and allows for a variety of functional analyses using bioimaging, including Cre/loxP-mediated, tissue-specific hCXCR1 expression in a spatiotemporal manner; a color-switching mechanism, which uses spectrum-complementary, genetically encoded green...
