Strain Description
The TAA stop codon was replaced with the “P2A-tdTomato-IRES-loxP-6xSV40 pA loxP-DTR” cassette. Upstream of the DTR (diphtheria toxin receptor) gene lies a loxP-Stop-loxP cassette that blocks DTR transcription and expression. In the absence of Cre recombinase, the Ctnnd2 promoter drives tdTomato expression, labeling Ctnnd2-positive cells with red fluorescence. 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.
