INNOVATION
Col2a1-tTA transgenic mice express tTA (tetracycline-controlled transactivator) from the chondrocyte-specific mouse Col2a1 (collagen, type II, alpha 1) promoter/enhancer. When combined with a tetO/TRE transgene, expression of the target gene of interest can be blocked in chondrocytes by administration of doxycycline in a "Tet-Off" system. This mouse enables functional manipulation of chondrocytes.
