Research Abstract |
Manipulation of intracellular signaling activity in embryos is an effective tool for analysis of dynamic phenomena in developing embryo. However, it is very difficult to alter the intracellular signaling activity stably and quantitatively. We tried to generate knockin mice in which Notch1 gene is duplicated, thereby increasing the number of Notch1 allele. By using this knockin mice, we can generate mouse embryos with various number of Notch1 allele from 0 to 4, thus we can stably and quantitatively alter the Notch signaling activity in this knockin mouse line. With this Knockin mouse the analyses of Notch signal activity in dynamic phenomena in embryo such as somitogenesis are available.
