Abstract excerpt
The apoptotic adapter protein FADD has been shown to play diverse roles in cell survival and proliferation. FADD knockout embryos died of heart defects, rendering Cre/loxP-mediated conditional FADD knockout mice a unique tool for investigating FADD-dependent nonapoptotic mechanism. Previously, these genetically engineered mice were identified by time-consuming Southern blot or controversial real-time PCR. In this...
