Cre/loxP-based mouse models of mast cell deficiency and mast cell-specific gene inactivation.

Abstract excerpt

Over the past decades, research on in vivo functions of mast cells has largely relied on kit-mutant mouse strains. Recently, new mouse models for investigation of mast cell functions based on the Cre/loxP recombination system have been published and results in these new models challenged findings of previous studies in kit-mutant mice. Herein we describe procedures central to mast cell-specific gene inactivation...
