Strain Description: Pdx-1-Cre mice exhibit a stochastic pattern of high-level Cre expression in the pancreas (Hingorani et al., 2003). When combined with Tyler Jacks' latent activatable K-ras allele, LSL-KrasG12D (Kras2, MMHCC strain code 01XJ6), Pdx-1-Cre causes ductal lesions that recapitulate the full spectrum of human pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs). Some of these lesions progress to invasive and metastatic adenocarcinomas.
