Abstract: | Modeling complex (patho)physiological processes by sequential mutagenesis in mice is limited by the lack of optimized genetic tools and complex breeding strategies. We present a new Cre/DreERT2 dual-recombinase germinal center B-cell (GCBC)specific strain, with co-expression of the recombinases from a single allele. This enables highly efficient Cre-mediated FOXO1 knockout followed by time-controlled, efficient Dre-mediated FOXO1 re-expression and functional rescue in GCBCs, demonstrating suitability for precise targeted sequential mutagenesis in vivo. |
