PDGFRa-CRE Transgenic Mice
Hemizygous Pdgfra-cre mice are viable and fertile, with cre expression directed to retinal Muller glial cells by the mouse Pdgfra (platelet derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide) promoter. Expression is predominantly in the cell bodies of the inner nuclear layer (INL) of the retina, but some expression may be observed in the outer nuclear layer (ONL) and in the ganglion cell layer (GCL). The donating investigator indicates that although not examined, cre may also be active in many types of central nervous system glial cells. When bred with mice containing a loxP-flanked sequence of interest, Cre-mediated recombination will result in deletion of the floxed sequence(s) in the offspring.
