Use of GFAP-lacZ transgenic mice to determine astrocyte fate in grafts of embryonic ventral midbrain
Embryonic ventral midbrains from GFAP-lacZ transgenic mice were xenografted into the dopamine-depleted striata of adult rats. This transgenic line harbors a nuclear-targeted bacterial beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) reporter gene under transcriptional control of the human glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promoter sequence. Five weeks post-transplantation, graft-derived astrocytes and dopaminergic neurons were visualized by dual immunocytochemistry for beta-gal and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), respectively. This report describes the advantages associated with the use of GFAP-lacZ transgenic mice to study astrocyte fate in embryonic neural grafts.
