Abstract excerpt
Apc mutations cause intestinal tumorigenesis through Tcf4 activation. However, direct techniques for studying Tcf4 activation in vivo are limited. Here, we describe the development of a Tcf4-GFP reporter mouse model for directly studying Tcf4 activation. We first developed a GFP reporter construct (Tcf4-GFP) and transfected it into SW480 cells that have constitutively activated Tcf4. Reporter activity increased...
