Generation and characterization of CD19-iCre mice as a tool for efficient and specific conditional gene targeting in B cells

Abstract The Cre/loxP system is a powerful tool for generating conditional gene knockout (KO) mice and elucidate gene function in vivo. CD19-Cre and Mb1-iCre transgenic mice are commonly used for generating B cell-specific KO mice and investigate the development, as well as the physiological and pat...
