EGFP is expressed from this plasmid as a marker, but it is not a fusion protein. EGFP and the shRNA oligo are flanked by LoxP sites. Cre causes both to be recombined out of the construct, turning off p53 shRNA expression.

Cre TURNS OFF p53 shRNA expression. The shRNA is directed against the mouse p53 sequence 5'-GTACTCTCCTCCCCTCAAT-3'.
Follow safety guidelines when handling live virus expressing p53 shRNA.
