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…

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…
