Expression of a neuroendocrine gene signature in gastric tumor cells from CEA 424-SV40 large T antigen-transgenic mice depends on SV40 large T antigen. [PDF]
, 2012 A large fraction of murine tumors induced by transgenic expression of SV40 large T antigen (SV40 TAg) exhibits a neuroendocrine phenotype. It is unclear whether SV40 TAg induces the neuroendocrine phenotype by preferential transformation of progenitor ...

Experimental approaches to study cerebral amyloidosis in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
, 2004 Misfolding, aggregation and the accumulation of proteins in the brain are common characteristics of diverse age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Each of these neurodegenerative diseases is associated with abnormalities in the folding of a different

Mechanisms underlying the initiation of cerebral betaamyloidosis and neurofibrillary tau pathology : new insights form transgenic mice [PDF]
, 2006 Numerous neurodegenerative disorders result from the aggregation of proteins that misfold and accumulate as fibrillar amyloid deposits in selectively vulnerable regions of the central nervous system.

Lymphoid hyperplasia and lymphoma in transgenic mice expressing the small non-coding RNA, EBER1 of Epstein-Barr virus [PDF]
, 2010 Background. Non-coding RNAs have critical functions in diverse biological processes, particularly in gene regulation. Viruses, like their host cells, employ such functional RNAs and the human cancer associated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is no exception ...

Application of transgenic mice to the molecular pathogenesis of cataract [PDF]
International Journal of OphthalmologyOne of the most prevalent disorders that cause blindness worldwide is cataract, and its essence is the visual disorder caused by the opacity of the lens. The significant degree of variation in cataracts and the fact that a variety of factors can impact a

Retinoblastoma in transgenic mice
Nature, 1990 Retinoblastoma, a malignancy of the eye occurring in young children, has been widely studied as a model for genetic predisposition to cancer. This disease is caused by mutations in both alleles of an anti-oncogene (the retinoblastoma gene, Rb) that inactivate or eliminate the Rb encoded protein, p105Rb (refs 1 and 2).
