Reporter mouse strains are important tools for monitoring Cre
recombinase-mediated excision in vivo. In practice, excision may be
incomplete in a given population due to threshold level or variegated
expression of Cre. Hence, it is desirable in many experimental contexts
to isolate cells that have undergone excision to assess the
consequences of gene ablation. To generate alternative reporter mice,
an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene was targeted
to the retroviral-trapped ROSA26 locus. Upon Cre-mediated excision of
"Stop" sequences, EGFP was expressed ubiquitously during
embryogenesis and in adult tissues (including T cells, B cells, and
myeloid cells). Using this new reporter strain, separation of
excised from nonexcised cells in vitro was achieved in thymocytes in a
noninvasive manner based on activated EGFP expression. This new EGFP
reporter strain should facilitate a variety of conditional gene-targeting experiments, including the functional studies of hematopoietic cells in lineage-specific knockout mice.
