During the development of the hematopoietic system, at least eight distinct lineages are generated in the mouse embryo. Transgenic mice expressing fluorescent proteins at various points in the hematopoietic hierarchy, from hematopoietic stem cell to multipotent progenitors to each of the final differentiated cell types, have provided valuable tools for tagging, tracking, and isolating these cells. In this chapter, we discuss general considerations in designing a transgene and survey available fluorescent probes and methods for confirming and analyzing transgene expression in the hematopoietic systems of the embryo, fetus, and postnatal/adult animal.
在造血系统发育过程中,小鼠胚胎中至少会产生八个不同的谱系。从造血干细胞到多能祖细胞,再到每种最终分化细胞类型,在造血层级不同阶段表达荧光蛋白的转基因小鼠,为标记、追踪和分离这些细胞提供了有价值的工具。在本章中,我们将讨论设计转基因时的一般注意事项,并概述可用的荧光探针以及用于确认和分析胚胎、胎儿及出生后/成年动物造血系统中转基因表达的方法。
