Abstract: Objective To generate monocyte- peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ(PPARγ) conditional knockout mice and to identify the genotype.Methods The imported PPARγ-loxp mice and CX3CR1-Cre mice were hybridized to generate F1 generation,and the genotypes were identified by RT-PCR.Using the same method to generate F2 generation and detect their genotypes.Then the effect of PPARγgene knock-out were identified by using immunofluorescence and Western blotting.Result The monocyte-PPARγknockout mice (PPARγloxp/loxp Cx3cr1cre/- or PPARγloxp/loxp Cx3cr1cre/cre) were as test group(PPARγko),and the control group(PPARγwt) of mice (PPARγloxp/loxp Cx3cr1-/-) were also identified.Conclusion Successfully established the monocyte-PPARγknock-out mice,and provide a experimental tool to further study the funtions of PPARγon monocyte .

Key words: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ(PPARγ), Conditional knockout, Cre-loxp System, Monocyte.
