In generating a conditional transgenic murine model based on a tetracycline-regulated system, we obtained unexpected patterns of expression due to the transcriptional inactivity of the tet-responder promoter. Here we show strong cell-type-restricted expression that was variegated to an extent determined by the number of responder transgene copies integrated into the host genome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
