Cib1−/− mouse model
Multi-Component SwitchThe Cib1−/− mouse model is a genetic loss-of-function system in which calcium- and integrin-binding protein 1 (CIB1) is deleted to study its role in megakaryocyte and platelet biology. In the cited Blood 2011 study, Cib1 deficiency altered megakaryocyte adhesion, migration, and proplatelet formation and attenuated platelet recovery after depletion.
