Recombinant human extracellular superoxide dismutase produced in milk of transgenic rabbits
Expression of human extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD), a glycosylated, tetrameric metalloprotein, was targeted to the lactating mammary gland of transgenic rabbits. Efficient expression of… Expand

High level production of human growth hormone in the milk of transgenic mice: the upstream region of the rabbit whey acidic protein (WAP) gene targets transgene expression to the mammary gland
The 5′ flanking region (6.3 kb) of the rabbit WAP (rWAP) gene possesses important regulatory elements. This region was linked to the human growth hormone (hGH) structural gene in order to target… Expand

The Potential Benefits of Insulators on Heterologous Constructs in Transgenic Animals
Transgenes can display position effects, shown as variegated, ectopic, uncontrolled and even silenced expression. These undesired side effects result in irreproducible and non-systematic expression… Expand

The methods to generate transgenic animals and to control transgene expression.
  • L. Houdebine
  • Biology, Medicine
  • Journal of biotechnology
  • 25 September 2002
Transgenic animals have been used for years to study gene function and to create models for the study of human diseases. This approach has become still more justified after the complete sequencing of… Expand

Comparison of insulin-like growth factor 1 and insulin effects on prolactin-induced lactogenesis in the rabbit mammary gland in vitro
In organ culture of pregnant rabbit mammary gland, a low casein synthesis occurs with prolactin (PRL) alone. Insulin markedly potentiates the effect of PRL. Only pharmacological concentrations of… Expand

Worsening of Diet-Induced Atherosclerosis in a New Model of Transgenic Rabbit Expressing the Human Plasma Phospholipid Transfer Protein
Objective—Plasma phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) is involved in intravascular lipoprotein metabolism. PLTP is known to act through 2 main mechanisms: by remodeling high-density lipoproteins… Expand

Effect of the Rabbit αs1-Casein Gene Distal Enhancer on the Expression of a Reporter Gene in Vitro and in Vivo
Abstract Several gene constructs containing the firefly luciferase gene and the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene promoter (TK) were used to evaluate the transcriptional activity of the… Expand
