| Research Abstract |
The TRECK method is very useful for generating model mice and obtaining useful donor cells. However, it has been difficult to make DTR expressed in whole bodies of mice because DTR is a growth factor and overexpression of it induces a slightly abnormal phenotype. In this study, to solve these problems, we generated improved TRECK mice using a modified DT receptor with reduced growth factor activity. The improved TRECK mice showed a normal phenotype and the DTR could be expressed in whole mice bodies. This improvement is expected to extend the applicable range of the TRECK method. Furthermore, we could demonstrate that transplanted and accepted donor cells from this mouse could be removed again from the recipient mouse by DT administration to examine the effect of the transplantation.
