Caption (A) Schematic representation of the vector used to generate the Z/Lhx2-green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mouse strain, Tg(CAG-Bgeo/Lhx2,-GFP)#Lcar (upper panel) and the organisation of this vector after Cre-mediated recombination (lower panel). The blue arrows correspond to the mRNA that is generated before and after Cre-mediated recombination of this vector. The expression system is based on the Z/alkaline phosphatase (AP) double reporter vector developed by Lobe and co-workers, where a floxed allele of beta-Geo (encoding a beta-galactosidase-Neomycin fusion protein) is followed by an expression cassette consisting of the Lhx2 cDNA, an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) and GFP cDNA. Thus, DNA recombination by the Cre recombinase will delete the beta-Geo gene and place Lhx2-GFP immediately downstream of the promoter/enhancer leading to its transcription. We generated a mouse strain transgenic for this vector that showed beta-Gal activity in a variety of tissues including epidermis.
