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 ...

Factors Affecting Production Efficiency of Bacterial Artificial Chromosome Transgenic Mice
ObjectiveBy comparing some key factors in generating bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenic mice, such as the background of strains, the concentration of the BAC DNA used for injection, the size of the BAC DNA, and the storage time of the BAC ...

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.

Retinoblastoma in transgenic mice
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).

KSHV Latency Locus Cooperates with Myc to Drive Lymphoma in Mice.
Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has been linked to Kaposi sarcoma and B-cell malignancies. Mechanisms of KSHV-induced oncogenesis remain elusive, however, in part due to lack of reliable in vivo models.

Antioxidant properties of HDL in transgenic mice overexpressing human apolipoprotein A-II
Transgenic mice overexpressing human apolipoprotein A-II (huapoA-II) display high VLDL and low HDL levels. To evaluate the antioxidant potential of huapoA-II enriched HDL, we measured the activities of paraoxonase (PON) and platelet-activating factor ...

Nerve terminal degeneration is independent of muscle fiber genotype in SOD1 mice. [PDF]
Motor neuron degeneration in SOD1(G93A) transgenic mice begins at the nerve terminal. Here we examine whether this degeneration depends on expression of mutant SOD1 in muscle fibers.Hindlimb muscles were transplanted between wild-type and SOD1(G93A ...
