PrismPlus: a mouse line expressing distinct fluorophores in four different brain cell types

Abstract To screen the complex central nervous system (CNS) injury responses, we created a quadruple-labelled ‘PrismPlus’ mouse line with a genetically encoded distinct fluorescent tag in oligodendrocytes, microglia, neurons, and astrocytes. Cx3cr1-gfp and Prism mice originally developed by Jung et...
