Vaccination directed against the human endogenous retrovirus-K envelope protein inhibits tumor growth in a murine model system [PDF]
Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) genomes are chromosomally integrated in all cells of an individual. They are normally transcriptionally silenced and transmitted only vertically. Enhanced expression of HERV-K accompanied by the emergence of anti-HERV-K-

Homology-directed repair in rodent zygotes using Cas9 and TALEN engineered proteins [PDF]
International audienceThe generation of genetically-modified organisms has been revolutionized by the development of new genome editing technologies based on the use of gene-specific nucleases, such as meganucleases, ZFNs, TALENs and CRISPRs-Cas9 systems.

Genetic Modifiers of Retinal Degeneration in therd3Mouse [PDF]
In previous studies of light-induced (LRD) and age-related (ageRD) retinal degeneration (RD) between the BALB/cByJ (BALB) and B6(Cg)-Tyr(c-2J)/J (B6a) albino mouse strains, RD-modifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified. After breeding BALB- and B6a-rd3/rd3 congenic strains and finding significant differences in RD, an F1 intercross to ...

Genetic platelet depletion is superior in platelet transfusion compared to current models
Genetically modified mice have advanced our knowledge on platelets in hemostasis and beyond tremendously. However, mouse models harbor certain limitations, including availability of platelet specific transgenic strains, and off-target effects on other ...

Genetically modified mouse models of cancer invasion and metastasis.
Tumor invasion and metastasis is a multi-step process that requires adaptation of cancer cells to conditions that they encounter during their journey to distant body sites. Understanding the molecular processes that underlie this adaptation is of exceeding importance because most cancer patients die because of metastases rather than primary tumors.

DNA fragmentation index (DFI) as a measure of sperm quality and fertility in mice. [PDF]
Although thousands of genetically modified mouse strains have been cryopreserved by sperm freezing, the likelihood of cryorecovery success cannot be accurately predicted using conventional sperm parameters.

GABAergic compensation in connexin36 knock-out mice evident during low-magnesium seizure-like event activity [PDF]
Gap junctions within the cerebral cortex may facilitate cortical seizure formation by their ability to synchronize electrical activity. To investigate this, one option is to compare wild-type (WT) animals with those lacking the gene for connexin36 (Cx36 ...
