Abstract

CX3CR1-Cre mouse lines have produced important advancements in our understanding of microglial biology. Recent studies have demonstrated the adverse effects of tamoxifen-induced CX3CR1-Cre expression during development, which may include changes in microglial density, phenotype, and DNA damage, as well as anxiety-like behavior. However, the unintended effects of constitutive CX3CR1-BAC-Cre expression remain unexplored. Here, we characterized the effects of CX3CR1-BAC-Cre expression on microglia ...
