This mouse line was generated by first breeding the heterozygous Pkd1cond mice with the Cux1tm2Ejn heterozygous mice. The F1 littermates from this cross, which were heterozygous for both the Pkd1cond and Cux1tm2Ejn genes, were crossed onto the Hoxb7/Cre mouse line. Another brother-sister cross was set up between the F1 generation of the latter cross to generate Pkd1CD;Cux1tm2Ejn+/− and Pkd1CD;Cux1tm2Ejn−/− mice, and Pkd1CD;Cux1tm2Ejn+/+ mice to be used as controls.
