Transgenic mouse with high cre recombinase activity in all prostate lobes, seminal vesicle, and ductus deferens

Abstract

Compared with the currently available prostate-specific Cre strains, the new ARR2PBi-Cre strain exhibited higher and more uniform expression of Cre recombinase in the prostate as well as in seminal vesicles and ductus deferens. This provides an additional tool for efficient hormone-dependent gene targeting in epithelial cells of all lobes of the adult prostate, seminal vesicle, and ductus deferens.
