Method for producing site-specific recombination of DNA in a transgenic non-human mammal at chromosomal regions containing Flp-recognition sites
A method is disclosed for producing site-specific recombination of DNA in a transgenic non-human mammal at chromosomal regions containing Flp-recognition sites (e.g., a DNA sequence containing an FRT site). The invention in particular discloses the…

Invention
anti-MARCO monoclonal antibody
The monoclonal antibody recognizes the Macrophage Receptor with Collagenous structure (MARCO). The scavenger receptors (SRs) expressed by macrophages are thought to play an important role in the immune response against bacteria by mediating binding…

Invention
Homozygous IKKepsilon knockout mouse as an animal model for influenza virus infection
Homozygous IKKepsilon (inhibitor of kappaB kinase epsilon) mutant mice are used as animal models for influenza virus infection. Homozygous deletion results in a complete loss of the endogenous kinase function in lung, spleen, and embryonic…

Research Tool
Crx GFPAP Transgenic Mice
Hemizygotes are viable and fertile. Expression of human placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) and GFP recapitulates that of the endogenous Crx promoter in the retina at embryonic time points as early as embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5) and in the retina…
