Model Description

A CreERT2-WPRE-pA expression cassette was knocked into the Wt1 gene start codon site.
Research Application：As Wt1 is expressed in the epicardium of the heart and in the mesothelia overlying most visceral organs, these mutant mice are useful for lineage-tracing/marking Wt1-expressing cells for studying the heart, the development of sperm and hepatic injury.

Fig. 5: Detection of tdTomato(red) in various tissues of Wt1CreERT2/+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mice. CreERT2 mediated recombination can be detected in the tunica externa of heart, liver, spleen, stomach, intestine, colon after tamoxifen treatment. Some leakiness were detected in the spleen prior to tamoxifen exposure. Besides, tdtomato expression can be detected in a few cells of the pancreas and thymus. Tdtomato expression can not be observed in the brain, pituitary gland, retina, lung, submandibular gland, skin and muscle. (For more detailed information please contact our technical advisor.)
