B-Pdgfrb-iCre mice
Strain Name

C57BL/6-Pdgfrbtm1(icre)Bcgen/Bcgenn

Stock No.  110129
Common name

B-Pdgfrb-iCre mice

Gene symbol and name  Pdgfrb(platelet derived growth factor receptor, beta polypeptide), Pdg; CD140b
Strain of origin

C57BL/6

Chromosome  18
Coat color Black Dietary information Growth and reproduction diet for experimental mice
NCBI Gene ID
18596

Application

  • Function research of genes
  • This PdgfrbiCre model is an efficient tool to study the various gene functions when crossed with mice with different loxP site-flanked genes of interest.

Expression


Expressed gene

iCre, improved cre recombinase, bacteriophage P1


Site of expression

endothelial cells, central nervous system (CNS) blood vessels


Gene editing strategy


from clipboard


An F2A-iCre sequence cassette was placed between the coding sequence of exon 23 and 3’UTR of the Pdgfrb gene. This strain was maintained on a C57BL/6 genetic background.


Phenotype Analysis

(B) Quantification of the number of CD31+ capillaries expressing claudin-5 or ZO-1 and the MFI of claudin-5 or ZO-1 in CD31+ capillaries showed reduction of claudin-5 in capillaries of cortex from Cd146−/− mice compared with those from Cd146+/+ mice at P5 and 4–6 wk. (C) Brain sections from cortex of mice at 4–6 wk were costained for CD31 (green) and PDGFRβ (red) and analyzed by LSFM after being optically cleared by using organic solvents. Representative MIPs of 40 virtual single slices from Cd146+/+ and Cd146−/− mice are shown. (Scale bar: 50 μm.)
