Generation of transgenic cynomolgus monkeys that express green fluorescent protein throughout the whole body
Nonhuman primates are valuable for human disease modelling, because rodents poorly recapitulate some human diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease amongst others. Here, we report for the first time, the generation of green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic cynomolgus monkeys by lentivirus infection. Our data show that the use of a human cytomegalovirus immediate-early en...
متن کاملNovel hippocampal interneuronal subtypes identified using transgenic mice that express green fluorescent protein in GABAergic interneurons.
The chief inhibitory neurons of the mammalian brain, GABAergic neurons, are comprised of a myriad of diverse neuronal subtypes. To facilitate the study of these neurons, transgenic mice were generated that express enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in subpopulations of GABAergic neurons. In one of the resulting transgenic lines, called GIN (GFP-expressing Inhibitory Neurons), EGFP was fo...
متن کاملBAC transgenic mice express enhanced green fluorescent protein in central and peripheral cholinergic neurons.
The peripheral nervous system has complex and intricate ramifications throughout many target organ systems. To date this system has not been effectively labeled by genetic markers, due largely to inadequate transcriptional specification by minimum promoter constructs. Here we describe transgenic mice in which enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) is expressed under the control of endogenous...
متن کاملGreen fluorescent protein quantification in whole plants.
As future biotechnology applications utilize recombinant proteins as commercial products, nondestructive assays will be necessary to determine protein concentrations accurately within plant tissues. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been proposed as a potential marker for the monitoring of transgenic plants and quantifying recombinant protein levels under field conditions. This chapter discus...
متن کاملDevelopment of an experimental model of endometriosis using mice that ubiquitously express green fluorescent protein.
BACKGROUND Aiming at improving an animal model of endometriosis, we developed a homologous mouse model using 'green mice' that ubiquitously express green fluorescent protein. METHODS Endometrial fragment obtained from estradiol (E2)-supplemented ovariectomized 'green mice' was minced and injected into the peritoneal cavity of ovariectomized wild-type mice. The recipient wild mice were raised ...
