Pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells have been
studied extensively, but the events that occur during their
differentiation remain largely uncharted. To develop a system that
allows the differentiation of cultured multipotent progenitors by
time-lapse fluorescence microscopy, myelomonocytic cells were labeled
with green fluorescent protein (GFP) in vivo. This was achieved by knocking the enhanced GFP (EGFP) gene
into the murine lysozyme M (lys) locus and using a targeting
vector, which contains a neomycin resistant (neo) gene flanked
by LoxP sites and "splinked" ends, to increase the frequency of
homologous recombination. Analysis of the blood and bone marrow of the
lys-EGFP mice revealed that most myelomonocytic cells,
especially mature neutrophil granulocytes, were fluorescence-positive,
while cells from other lineages were not. Removal of the neo
gene through breeding of the mice with the Cre-deleter strain
led to an increased fluorescence intensity. Mice with an inactivation
of both copies of the lys gene developed normally and were fertile.
