Dll1 Conditional Knockout mouse models
Dll1, ortholog of human DLL1, encodes Delta-like 1, a single-pass transmembrane Notch ligand with an N-terminal MNNL and DSL domain plus tandem EGF repeats that engages NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 in trans, and whose activity depends on MIB1-mediated ubiquitination and endocytic pulling force to expose the S2 cleavage site for ADAM10 and gamma-secretase. Oscillatory expression in presomitic mesoderm couples the segmentation clock to somite boundary formation, and the ligand also governs neural progenitor lateral inhibition, muscle progenitor maintenance, and intestinal secretory fate. Germline nulls die at midgestation with disorganized somites and vascular defects, so conditional floxed alleles are required for adult neurogenesis, myogenesis, or intestinal work, and human haploinsufficiency causing neurodevelopmental disorder argues for heterozygous or hypomorphic designs. Since Dll4 and Jag1 activate the same receptors in overlapping fields, compound conditionals prevent misattributing residual signaling. Pair the flox with Sox2-Cre, Pax7-CreER, or Villin-CreER according to whether the endpoint is progenitor pool size, regeneration, or lineage allocation.
Tissue restricted knockout of Dll1 keeps wild type function everywhere else. Breeding is often more robust, and the setup mirrors patient biology where mutations arise in a subset of cells.

| These mice carry loxP sites flanking exon3-4 of Dll1 gene. When crossed with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, this strain is useful in eliminating tissue-specific conditional expression of Dll1 gene. | |||||
Why this approach
Conditional knockout focuses the experiment on your target tissue while the rest of the animal keeps a wild type allele. That pattern mirrors somatic mutation in patients and avoids systemic compensation that can erase subtle phenotypes. It is often preferred when a germline null is lethal, weak, or confounded by developmental rescue.

FAQ
What Dll1 Conditional Knockout mouse models are available?
When Dll1 Conditional Knockout lines are in catalog, we ship from inventory. If your configuration is not listed, we design the allele to order. Common paths include conditional knockout, constitutive knockout, humanized, knockin, and transgenic options, with documented germline transmission and United States QC.
Is Dll1 knockout embryonic lethal in mice?
It depends on background and allele design. Some Dll1 germline knockouts are viable. Others need conditional alleles or mixed backgrounds. We review publications and our own experience, then recommend floxed versus null before you commit.
Which Cre driver is best for experiments?
Driver choice depends on onset timing, recombination efficiency, and known leak. We map your organ and cell type to a short list of proven Cre lines, then talk through reporter crosses and controls. We favor drivers with strong community validation for your tissue.
Do you ship live Dll1 animals?
When catalog lines are live, we ship with health certificates and QC documentation. If your exact combo is not listed, we quote a generation project with cryo or live dispatch depending on cohort timing and geography.
How do I request a quote for Dll1?
Use the catalog inquire buttons or the request quote form. Include your allele goal, Cre plan if any, strain background, and cohort size. A PhD led team responds with pricing, milestones, and the fastest path to experimental animals.
