Gene Summary

Gene Symbol
Ascl1

Model Description

A CreERT2-Wpre-pA expression cassette was knocked into the Ascl1 gene start codon site.
Research Application:When crossed with a strain carrying a gene flanked by loxP sites, the flanked gene will be removed in cells expressing cre after tamoxifen treatment. These mice may be useful in studying the role of Ascl1 positive neural progenitor cells in the neuronal turnover and neuronal replacement.

Fig. 1 CreERT2-mediated recombination in the hippocampus of Ascl1CreERT2 /+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mouse. TdTomato(red) expression can be detected in the dentate gyrus granule cell layer and molecular layer of Ascl1 CreERT2 /+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mouse after tamoxifen treatment. Some leakiness were detected in the molecular layer prior to tamoxifen exposure.

Fig. 2 CreERT2-mediated recombination in the lateral ventricles of Ascl1CreERT2 /+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mouse. TdTomato(red) expression can be detected in the subventricular zone of Ascl1CreERT2 /+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mouse after tamoxifen treatment.

Fig. 3 Detection of tdTomato(red) in various tissues of Ascl1CreERT2/+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mice. CreERT2 mediated recombination can be detected in the hippocampus and lateral ventricles after tamoxifen treatment. Besides, tamoxifen-dependent cre recombinase expression can be also detected in some cells derived from thymus and the submucosa of the stomach and small intestine, except for submandibular gland, retina, lung, brown fat, kidney, muscle and spleen.
