タイトル Focal gene misexpression in zebrafish embryos induced by local heat shock using a modified soldering iron.
ジャーナル Dev Dyn
Abstract Misexpression of genes in a temporally and spatially controlled fashion is an important tool for assessing gene function during development. Because few tissue-specific promoters have been identified in zebrafish, inducible systems such as the Cre/LoxP and Tet repressor systems are of limited utility. Here we describe a new method of misexpression: local heat shock using a modified soldering iron. Zebrafish carrying transgenes under the control of a heat shock promoter (hsp70) are focally heated with the soldering iron to induce gene expression in a small area of the embryo. We have validated this method in three stable transgenic lines and at three developmental timepoints. Local heat shock is a fast, easy, and inexpensive method for gene misexpression.
