Growth factor independence 1b (GFI1B) is a DNA binding repressor of transcription with vital functions in hematopoiesis. Gfi1b-null embryos die at midgestation very likely due to defects erythro- and megakaryopoiesis. To analyze the full functionality Gfi1b, we used conditionally deficient mice that harbor floxed Gfi1b alleles inducible (Mx-Cre, Cre-ERT) or erythroid specific (EpoR-Cre) Cre expressing transgenes. In contrast germline knockout, EpoR-Cre mediated ablation allows gestation, but...
