Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene are pivotal in colorectal tumorigenesis. Existing mouse intestinal tumor models display mainly small intestinal lesions and carcinomas are rare. We defined human CDX2 sequences conferring colon epithelium-preferential transgene expression in the adult mouse. Mice carrying a CDX2P-NLS Cre recombinase transgene and a loxP-targeted Apc allele developed mainly...
