Podocyte-specific expression of tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase in mice
11 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Podocytes play an important role in maintaining normal glomerular function. A podocyte-specific conditional knockout technology has been established by the use of transgenic mice expressing a podocyte-specific Cre recombinase to clarify the role of genes expressed in the podocytes. However, it may be difficult to examine the role of genes in certain pathologic conditions using conventional...
