Abstract excerpt
We have previously demonstrated that excessive mitochondrial reactive oxygen species caused by mutations in the SDHC subunit of Complex II resulted in premature death in C. elegans and Drosophila, tumors in mouse cells and infertility in transgenic mice. We now report the generation and initial characterization of conditional transgenic mice (Tet-mev-1) using our uniquely developed Tet-On/Off system, which...
