| 摘要 |
The present invention discloses a new selective method for inducibly and genetically ablating specific cell lineages in transgenic cell populations, e.g., in transgenic animals. The new method, which permits the production of stable transgenic perigees, and thus can be used at various stages of development of a transgenic cell population, allows both the timing and the degree of cellular ablation to be controlled. As a result the method can be used for a variety of therapeutic applications, as well as to study cell lineages and organogenesis, plus the capacity that residual stem cells have for regeneration.
