Site-specific recombination of DNA in eukaryotic cells
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for producing site-specific recombination of DNA in eukaryotic cells, comprising,(a) introducing into the cells a first DNA sequence comprising a first lox site and a second DNA sequence comprising a second lox site, and(b) contacting the lox sites with Cre, thereby producing the site specific recombination.
