Comparison of Osx+ cells and Ocn+ cells in the bone marrow.. Mus musculus

We performed gene expression microarray comparing Osx-mCherry cells and Ocn-Topaz cells isolated from the OsxCre-mCherry;OcnCre-Topaz double transgenic mice by flow cytometry. Overall design: In the OsxCre-mCherry;OcnCre-Topaz mouse model, Osx+ cells were labeled red, Ocn+ cells were green, and Osx+Ocn+ cells were yellow within the same animal. This system allows isolation of osteolineage subsets within the same animal by flow cytometry.
