)
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) infected with a Cre-expressing retrovirus accumulate greater than 2C DNA content
|
• MEFs infected with a Cre-expressing retrovirus cease to proliferate and show negligible BrdU incorporation relative to control MEFs
|
• MEFs infected with a Cre-expressing retrovirus exhibit a block in DNA replication leading to S-phase arrest
