Abstract excerpt
To investigate the link between Cdx protein concentration and axial patterning in embryos, we made lines of mice OE1, OE2 and OE4 that overexpress each of the Cdx genes Cdx1, Cdx2 and Cdx4, respectively. The lines carry Cdx transgenes under the transcriptional control of their own promoter/enhancer elements. Transgenic embryos show Cdx transcription at 8.5 to 8.7 days within normal spatial domains for Cdx...
