The transgenic construct consists of a 170 kb fragment containing a modified Foxa3 locus in which exon 2 has been replaced with an IRES-cre cassette. Cre activity was first detected 8.5 dpc in the anterior intestinal portal, and later in the entire gut endoderm from stomach to colon. Efficient cre-mediated recombination was demonstrated in the stomach, liver, pancreas, and colon. (J:96332)
