Unidirectional Cre-mediated genetic inversion in mice using the mutant loxP pair lox66/lox71

Oberdoerffer, Philipp, Otipoby, Kevin L., Maruyama, Mitsuo, Rajewsky, Klaus

The Cre/loxP recombination system is a commonly used tool to alter the mouse genome in a conditional manner by deletion or inversion of loxP-flanked DNA segments. While Cre-mediated deletion is...

Efficiency of RNA Interference in the Mouse Hematopoietic System Varies between Cell Types and Developmental Stages

Oberdoerffer, Philipp, Kanellopoulou, Chryssa, Heissmeyer, Vigo, Paeper, Corinna, Borowski, Christine, Aifantis, Iannis, ...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a naturally occurring posttranscriptional gene-silencing mechanism that has been adapted as a genetic tool for loss-of-function studies of a variety of organisms. It is...

The BCL2A1 gene as a pre–T cell receptor–induced regulator of thymocyte survival

Mandal, Malay, Borowski, Christine, Palomero, Teresa, Ferrando, Adolfo A., Oberdoerffer, Philipp, Meng, Fanyong, ...

The pre–T cell receptor (TCR) is expressed early during T cell development and imposes a tight selection for differentiating T cell progenitors. Pre-TCR–expressing cells are selected to survive...

Expression of a Targeted λ1 Light Chain Gene Is Developmentally Regulated and Independent of Igκ Rearrangements

Oberdoerffer, Philipp, Novobrantseva, Tatiana I., Rajewsky, Klaus

Immunoglobulin light chain (IgL) rearrangements occur more frequently at Igκ than at Igλ. Previous results suggested that the unrearranged Igκ locus negatively regulates Igλ transcription and/or...

The SIRT1 Deacetylase Suppresses Intestinal Tumorigenesis and Colon Cancer Growth

Firestein, Ron, Blander, Gil, Michan, Shaday, Oberdoerffer, Philipp, Ogino, Shuji, Campbell, Jennifer, ...

Numerous longevity genes have been discovered in model organisms and altering their function results in prolonged lifespan. In mammals, some have speculated that any health benefits derived from...
