Conditional Rac1 and Cdc42 mutant mice (Rac1fl/fl; Lbx1cre and Cdc42fl/fl; Lbc1cre);
Constitutively active (ca) Rac1 (Drac1V12) and Cdc42 (cdc42V12) alleles; Single and double asterisks indicate phenotype resulting from protein knockdown using shRNA or morpholinos, respectively. See text for references.
