    摘要: Transgenic non-human animals one having a general deletor construct and a second having a general reporter construct are described. The general deletor animals express a heterologous recombinase under the control of an ubiquitously expressed endogenous promoter. Specifically, the Cre recombinase is inserted into the ROSA26 locus of the mouse. The general reporter animals have a gene which is desired to remove flanked by sites recognized by the is heterologous recombinase. This flanked sequence is operatively associated with a marker gene such that when the gene sequence flanked by sites recognized by the heterologous recombinase is excised, the reporter gene is expressed. When the general deletor mouse is crossed with the general reporter mouse the heterologous recombinase is expressed in essentially all cells of the resultant descendants under the control of the ubiquitous promoter. Expression of the recombinase results in the excision of the desired gene in essentially all cells of the descendant animals. A conditional deletor construct and its use to derive a conditional deletor animal are also described.
