In this study, a dual-recombination system allowing sequential manipulation of Kras
G12D-driven pancreatic cancer (PDAC) was characterized. For secondary manipulation, the Flp/frt recombination system was combined with an inducible Cre/loxP system. The efficiency of this model was proven by reconstitution of p53 in tumor cell lines. In a second step, the tumor microenvironment was deciphered using the dual-recombination system. It could be shown that mast cells are dispensable for PDAC development and progression.
