Cre Considerations Mosaicism
Some target cells may not express Cre, or LoxP
sites may not recombine
May be integration site specific; evaluate multiple
cre transgenic founders
Expression in unexpected tissues (including germline)
Use Cre-positive males for breeding
Test expression using reporter
LoxP site recombination efficiency
Affected by position and distance

Cre Considerations (continued)
Breeding efficiency
If possible, have cre transgene on a different chromosome
than the floxed allele
Often good idea to breed out cre transgene after germline
deletion
Cre may produce a phenotype by itself
Insertion site effects; changes in gene expression
“Cre toxicity”
Target gene may be expressed prior to Cre recombination
Consider that genetic background may affect phenotype
