Generation of dynorphin knockout mice
Molecular Brain Research, 2001The opioid system has important roles in controlling pain, reward and addiction, and is implicated in numerous other processes within and outside the nervous system, such as mood states, immune responses, and prenatal developmental processes. The effects of the opioid system are mediated by at least three ligands, enkephalin, endorphin, and dynorphin ...

Seminars in Cancer Biology, 1996
The xeroderma pigmentosum group A correcting (XPA) gene encodes a DNA binding zinc-finger protein that recognizes DNA damage. As such the XPA protein participates in the initial step of the process of nucleotide excision repair. The multicomponent nucleotide excision repair pathway is one of the most thoroughly studied mechanisms that defends both ...

Generating Rab6 Conditional Knockout Mice
2021RAB6 GTPase is the most abundant Golgi-associated RAB protein and regulates several transport steps at the level of this organelle. Homozygous Rab6a knockout (k/o) is embryonic lethal in mouse. To study RAB6 function in cell lineages and tissues, we thus generated various conditional Rab6a knockout (k/o) mice using the Cre/lox system.

Impact of Knockout Mice in Toxicology
Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 1997Knockout mice obtained by homologous recombination technology may be valuable tools for in vivo investigations in toxicopathogenesis. A short review is given on the phenotype of mice with distinct deletions of cytokines and related genes. The application of these mice in pharmacological and toxicological research is discussed, with emphasis in ...

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine thought to play important regulatory roles in immunity, hemopoiesis, and inflammation (reviewed in ref. 1). The generation of IL-6-deficient mice by gene targeting has allowed direct testing of its role in a variety of physiological and pathological conditions.

Generation of Conditional Knockout Mice
2014Conditional knockout mouse models are powerful tools to examine the biological and molecular function(s) of genes in specific tissues. The general procedure to generate such genetically engineered mouse models consists of three main steps. The first step is to find the appropriate genomic clone of the gene of interest and to design the cloning and ...

Genetic knockouts in mice: An update
Experientia, 1995Gene disruption technology in mammals, by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells, is a powerful method to manipulate the mouse germ line. In the past decade it has produced a wealth of knowledge concerning neuronal development, neurodegenerative disorders and the roles of oncogenes, Hox genes and growth factors during development.

[Progress in gene knockout mice].
Sheng wu gong cheng xue bao = Chinese journal of biotechnology, 2019The establishment and development of gene knockout mice have provided powerful support for the study of gene function and the treatment of human diseases. Gene targeting and gene trap are two techniques for generating gene knockout mice from embryonic stem cells. Gene targeting replaces endogenous knockout gene by homologous recombination.

Tissue-Specific Transgenic and Knockout Mice
2006Analysis of genetically engineered mice is crucial for our understanding of the in vivo function of genes and proteins in the whole organism. This includes inactivation of a gene or the generation of specific mutations. The development of knockout and transgenic technologies in the mouse, therefore, represents a powerful tool for elucidating gene ...
