Fig. 1. Keratinocyte-specific Cre expression leads to pRb ablation in vivo. (A)
Schematic representation of the wild-type, the floxed (F19) and the
inactivated Rb allele (
19). Exons are indicated as numbered
boxes and loxP sites as triangles. Rb18 and Rb19 indicate the primers
used to characterize the different Rb alleles. (B-E)
ß-Galactosidase staining (blue) identifies Cre activity in X-Gal stained
tissue sections from epithelia of double transgenic R26R:K14cre
animals in epidermis (B), tongue (C), thymic epithelium (D) and hard palate
(E). (F) Cre-mediated recombination detected by PCR analysis on tails
RbF19/F19;K14cre mice. (G) Immunoblot analysis
for pRb in RbF19/F19 keratinocytes 48 hours post-infection
with Ad-GFP or Cre-coding adenovirus. (H) Immunoblot analysis for pRb family
members on primary keratinocytes derived from newborn mice with the indicated
genotypes. Scale bars: 150 µm.
