Conditional Knockout of Integrin α2β1 in Murine Megakaryocytes Leads to Reduced Mean Platelet Volume

We have engineered a transgenic mouse on a C57BL/6 background that bears a floxed Itga2 gene. The crossing of this mouse strain to transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase driven by the megakaryocyte (MK)-specific Pf4 promoter permits the conditional knockout of Itga2 in the MK/platelet lineage. M...
