— Irf8 Delta32 mice have a CRISPR targetted deletion in the enhancer of the mouse Irf8 gene located at +32 kilobases from the Irf8 gene promoter. This deletion removes the binding site for the Jun/Batf3/Irf8 complex and results in a complete and permanent elimination of the development of the cDC1 lin…

— To generate the mice, the researchers micro-injected ES cell clones carrying the targeted allele B2mtm1a(EUCOMM)Hmgu (B2mtm1a) into Albino B6 blastocysts.Chimeric mice were bred to Albino B6 to identify germline transmission by coat color. Mice containing the germline-transmitted B2mtm1a allele were…

— Xcr1 IRES mCherry-hCre Mouse Strain
This genetically modified mouse strain expresses the fluorescent marker mCherry and a human codon optimzed Cre in the same transcript as the chemokine receptor XCR1. XCR1 is specifically expressed in cDC1s, allowing specific deletion of genes in and the fluoresce…
