Model Description

A CreERT2-WPRE-pA expression cassette was knocked into the Ptf1a gene start codon site.
Research Application：These mice express cre recombinase from the Ptf1a locus. By mating the reporter mice with CreERT2-expressing mice, reporter gene expression can be detected in the pancreatic acinar cells of the Ptf1aCreERT2/+ ; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mouse. And the mice are useful for generating conditional mutations in pancreatic acinar cells. This strain may be useful for in the research of pancreatic cancer.

CreERT2-mediated recombination in the pancreatic acinar cells  can be induced by tamoxifen. Some leakiness were detected in the pancreas prior to tamoxifen exposure. Besides, tdtomato expression can be detected in a few cells of the brain, pituitary gland and stomach. Tdtomato exprssion can not be detected in thymus, heart, lung, liver, testis, kidney, intestine, brown fat, spleen, submandibular gland, and muscle.
