Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading course of cancer death and early detection of the disease is crucial for successful treatment. However, pancreatic cancer is difficult to detect in its earliest stages and once symptoms appear, the cancer has often progressed beyond possibility for curing. Research into the disease has been hampered by the lack of good models. We have generated a porcine mod...... hiện toàn bộ
Rederivation of Transgenic and Gene-Targeted Mice by Embryo TransferTransgenic Research - Tập 13 - Trang 363-371 - 2004

Research on genetically engineered mice provides insights into the etiology, therapy, and genetic basis of human diseases. An important variable that affects the results of mouse studies is the health status of the animals. Pathogen burdens may confound observations and obscure underlying mechanisms. Mouse resource centers frequently rederive infected mouse strains. We review our experience on the...... hiện toàn bộ
Co-precipitation molecules hemopexin and transferrin may be key molecules for fibrillogenesis in TTR V30M amyloidogenesisTransgenic Research - Tập 27 - Trang 15-23 - 2017

The disease model of familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy—7.2-hMet30 mice—manifests amyloid deposition that consists of a human amyloidogenic mutant transthyretin (TTR) (TTR V30M). Our previous study found amyloid deposits in 14 of 27 7.2-hMet30 mice at 21–24 months of age. In addition, non-fibrillar TTR deposits were found in amyloid-negative 7.2hMet30 mice. These results suggested that TTR amyloi...... hiện toàn bộ
Standing genetic variation and compensatory evolution in transgenic organisms: a growth-enhanced salmon simulationTransgenic Research - Tập 20 - Trang 583-597 - 2010

Genetically modified strains usually are generated within defined genetic backgrounds to minimize variation for the engineered characteristic in order to facilitate basic research investigations or for commercial application. However, interactions between transgenes and genetic background have been documented in both model and commercial agricultural species, indicating that allelic variation at t...... hiện toàn bộ
Liver, renal and subcutaneous histopathology in PEPCK-bGH transgenic pigsTransgenic Research - Tập 3 - Trang 401-405 - 1994

Transgenic pigs were created that harboured a phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase-bovine growth hormone construct (PEPCK-bGH). Four founder animals and two transgenic offspring from one line were evaluated between 61/2 and 12 months of age. There was no evidence of severe hepatic or renal lesions in these pigs, which characterised transgenic PEPCK-bGH mice previously described. While glomerular and...... hiện toàn bộ
Recombinant Human Protein C Expression in the Milk of Transgenic Pigs and the Effect on Endogenous Milk Immunoglobulin and Transferrin LevelsTransgenic Research - Tập 10 - Trang 43-51 - 2001

Colostrum and milk are natural vehicles for acquiring passive immunity and are valuable tools for decreasing neonatant mortality from diarrheal disease. The effects of recombinant human protein C (rhPC) expression levels on endogenous immunoglobulin and transferrin content of the milk of different lineages of transgenic pigs were studied. The levels of rhPC in the milk ranged from 40 to 1200 μg/ml...... hiện toàn bộ
