Genetic elimination of prothrombin in adult mice is not compatible with survival and results in spontaneous hemorrhagic events in both heart and brain
17 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Mice carrying a conditional prothrombin knockout allele (fII(lox)) were established to develop an experimental setting for exploring the importance of thrombin in the maintenance of vascular integrity, the inflammatory response, and disease processes in adult animals. In the absence of Cre-mediated recombination, homozygous fII(lox/lox) mice or compound heterozygous mice carrying one fII(lox) allele and one...
