We have generated an optimized inducible recombination system for conditional gene targeting based on a Cre recombinase–steroid receptor fusion. This configuration allows efficient Cre-mediated recombination in most organs of the mouse upon induction, without detectable background activity. An ES cell line, was established that carries the inducible recombinase and a loxP-flanked lacZ reporter gene. Out of this line, completely ES cell-derived mice were efficiently produced through tetraploid blastocyst complementation, without the requirement of mouse breeding. Our findings provide a new concept allowing the generation of inducible mouse mutants within 6 months, as compared to 14 months using the current protocol.
