Description

A targeting vector was designed to insert a CreERT2 fusion gene (Cre-ERT2; Cre recombinase fused to a G400V/M543A/L544A triple mutation of the human estrogen receptor ligand binding domain), an SV40 polyA signal, and an FRT-flanked PGK-Neo cassette into the initiation codon of the cut-like homeobox 2 (Cux2) locus. This construct was electroporated into C57BL/6-derived Bruce4 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Chimeric mice were bred to C57BL/6 mice to establish the colony. Next, mutant mice were bred with FLPe-expressing mice on a C57BL/6 congenic background to remove the FRT-flanked PGK-Neo cassette. The resulting Cux2-CreERT2 mice were then bred to C57BL/6J inbred mice for approximately three generations (selecting away from the FLPe transgene).
