背景情况:
- 通过前核注射的传统转基因 (Tg) 鼠标生成通常会导致由于随机DNA插入而导致不可靠的转基因表达.
- 基于前核注射的向转基因 (PITT) 和改进的PITT (i-PITT) 已开发,通过将插入指向特定的基因组位置来提高转基因表达的一致性.
- 由于LoxP位点之间的干扰,PITT的一个局限性是它无法使用Cre-LoxP重组来插入条件表达盒.
研究的目的:
- 为了克服i-PITT在插入条件表达式磁带方面的局限性.
- 开发一种经过修改的i-PITT方法,与Cre-LoxP局部特定再组合相兼容,用于条件转基因.
主要方法:

In-vitro Mutagenesis
13.9K
To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation
6.0K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
