A brain-sparing diphtheria toxin for chemical genetic ablation of peripheral cell lineages
Conditional expression of diphtheria toxin receptor (DTR) is widely used for tissue-specific ablation of cells. However, diphtheria toxin (DT) crosses the blood–brain barrier, which limits its utility for ablating peripheral cells using Cre drivers that are also expressed in the central nervous syst...
