## Abstract Following gene targeting, a __loxP__‐neo‐__loxP__ cassette was introduced into ES cells. The presence of a selectable marker such as neo in the targeted allele may result in gene interference in flox mice or unexpected phenotypes due to genetic ambiguity in direct knockout mice. Typical

Abstract
Summary: We report an improved vector, pCAGGS‐FLPe, for transient expression of the enhanced FLP recombinase in mouse ES cells and oocytes. In standard transfection experiments, about 6% of total ES colonies showed FLP recombination, albeit with mosaicism within each colony. After microinjection of pCAGGS‐FLPe into oocytes, about one‐third of heterozygotic mice born showed complete FLP recombination. Thus pCAGGS‐FLPe presents two practical options for removal of FRT cassettes in mice. genesis 31:6–10, 2001. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Intercellular communication, as determined by two different assay procedures, was established in vitro between mouse oocytes free of adhering follicle cells and monolayers of either follicle or 3T3 cells. Both of these cell types are known to be able to form homologous gap junctions, and follicle ce
## Abstract Spectral variants of green fluorescent protein are widely used in live samples for a broad range of applications: from visualization of protein interactions, through following gene expression, to marking particular cells in complex tissues. Higher wavelength emissions (such as red) are
Please note the correction to the above article: The red fluorescent protein used for the results in the above article was erroneously designated ''DsRed.T3.'' The correct name of the variant is DsRed-MST. DsRed-MST differs from DsRed.T3 in two amino acids. It has Alanine at positions 145 and 217. W
