Abstract excerpt
Astrocytes have been proposed to have multiple roles in the development and maintenance of the vertebrate CNS. To facilitate documentation of these roles, we designed a transgene to enable their ablation at selectable times. The transgene consists of the coding region for the herpes simplex virus-thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) under the control of the human glial fibrillary acidic protein gene promoter. The HSV-TK is...
