Tools for mammary gland research

Purpose

This page contains information on cloning vectors and strategies to express heterologous genes in mammary tissue of transgenic animals. It also lists information and sources (vendors) of relevant transgenic mice, expression vectors, DNA probes and other tools and the respective sources.

What's here

• Structure of the mouse WAP gene
•  
• WAP based mammary expression vectors
•  
• Targeting Cre recombinase to the mammary gland (WAP based)
•  
• Targeting tetracycline controlled transcription factors to the mammary gland (WAP based)
•  
• markers for mammary differentiation
• tetracycline responsive gene expression systems
•  
• histological techniques
