Human JAK2-V617F transgene
Cre-mediated expression of the human JAK2-V617F variant
Different MPN phenotypes
By using different Cre models, we can modulate the obtained phenotype: PV, ET or Myelofibrosis.
Well-established model
Since its development in 2008, our mouse strain has been used by many research groups worldwide.
