Comparison of mouse species in an in vivo sars-cov-2 challenge model [PDF]
The K18-hACE2 transgenic mice, a model animal having human ACE receptors, is employed in studies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus all over the world. Aged Balb/C mice utilized during the SARS-CoV outbreak were compared to non-T-cell, immunosuppressive Nude ...

Generation of Fad2 and Fad3 transgenic mice that produce n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids [PDF]
Linoleic acid (18 : 2, n-6) and α-linolenic acid (18 : 3, n-3) are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which are essential for mammalian health, development and growth.

Galanin overexpressing transgenic mice [PDF]
Galanin overexpressing transgenic mice (GAL-tg) were generated on two different promoters. Both lines of GAL-tg displayed high levels of galanin in the hippocampus and reduced sensitivity to seizures, as compared to their respective wildtype littermate controls (WT).

Reduced body weight and increased energy expenditure in transgenic mice over-expressing soluble leptin receptor. [PDF]
Soluble leptin receptor (OBRe), one of several leptin receptor isoforms, is the only bona fide leptin binding protein in plasma. Our earlier studies demonstrated that OBRe modulates leptin levels in circulation.

Human lymphoma mutations reveal CARD11 as the switch between self-antigen-induced B cell death or proliferation and autoantibody production [PDF]
Self-tolerance and immunity are actively acquired in parallel through a poorly understood ability of antigen receptors to switch between signaling death or proliferation of antigenbinding lymphocytes in different contexts.
