I have a CreLoxP mouse that expresses cre recombinase, upon treatment with tamoxifen with subsequent deletion of floxed genes. I will hippocampal neurons from conditional knockout mouse and aim to treat them in-vitro with tamoxifen (4-OHT; active metabolite). May you please help me by sending me some suggestions or links to previous literature etc with useful protocol for tamoxifen in cultures? Specific questions are as follows: What concentrations do I use the 4-OHT at?How long do I leave the 4-OHT in the medium to ensure successful recombination? Do I still use the culture media that I use (Neurobasal medium, pen/strep, L-glutamine, B27).
Thanks!
