Odorant Receptor Expression Frequency in Mature Olfactory Sensory Neurons Depends on Lhx2 [OmpCre:Lhx2]. Mus musculus

Conditional deletion of Lhx2, and to a lesser extent, Emx2 in olfactory neurons alters odorant receptor expression frequency. This series describes 1 of the 5 array experiments. GeneChip microarrays were used to measure odorant receptor mRNAs and test whether their abundance was affected in conditional knockout mice Overall design: Cre recombinase expression specific to immature and mature neurons was used to conditionally delete floxed Lhx2 gene.
