Abstract

The study of gene function in endodermal epithelia such as of stomach, small intestine and colon relies heavily on transgenic approaches. Establishing such animal models is laborious, expensive and time-consuming. We present here a method based on Cre recombinaseinducible retrovirus vectors that allows the conditional manipulation of gene expression in primary mouse organoid culture systems.
