Strain Description
The loxP-3*SV40 pA-loxP-IRES-DTR-rBG pA cassette was inserted ~30 bp downstream of the TGA stop codon. Upstream of the DTR (diphtheria toxin receptor) gene lies a loxP-Stop-loxP cassette that blocks DTR transcription and expression. Upon Cre recombination, Cre-mediated deletion of the loxP-flanked stop (LSL) element enables DTR expression in Cre-positive cells. Intravenous administration of diphtheria toxin (DT) then selectively ablates these cells.
