Abstract excerpt
The Cre-LoxP conditional knockout strategy has been used extensively to study gene function in a specific cell-type. In this study, the authors tried to engineer mice in which the Dbc1 gene is conditionally knocked out in Treg cells. Unexpectedly, the conditional Dbc1 allele was completely deleted with a low frequency in some Foxp3YFP-Cre mice harboring floxed Dbc1 allele under specific settings. It was found...
