We have produced transgenic mice expressing both reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator (rtTA) and transcriptional silencer (tTS) ubiquitously. Although the transgene products do not affect development of the mouse brain, one of the founder lines, TAS, showed ACC, suggesting transgenic disruption of endogenous...
