Cell type-specific manipulation with GFP-dependent Cre recombinase : Nature Neuroscience : Nature Publishing Group
GFP reporter lines are useful for labeling specific cell types. Here, the authors developed a method to convert GFP expression directly into Cre recombinase activity. GFP-dependent Cre was delivered via electroporation or AAV to neural tissues in the mouse, and could be used for optogenetic control of specific cell types.
