Kikume Green-Red protein (KikGR) is a photoconvertible fluorescent protein which was originally engineered from a stony coral Favia favus<\/i> (\u201ckikume-ishi\u201d in Japanese) [1]. KikGR changes its color from green to red after exposure to violet light, and it has greater conversion efficiency compared to Kaede. Tomura and colleagues inserted CAG-LSL-KikGR DNA construct into ROSA26 locus and generated KikGR knock-in mouse strain, from which cell type-specific KikGR expression can be achieved by mating with Cre driver mice [2]. They labeled and tracked the migration and turnover of skin-derived dendritic cells [2], RANK+ splenocytes including osteoclast precursors [3], and tumor-infiltrating monocytes derived from bone marrow (BM) and spleen by using BM chimera mice [4]. KikGR knock-in mice are a new tool to monitor cell replacement at the photoconverted site and\/or cell migration to other regions in the body.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
