Glial expression of Borna disease virus phosphoprotein induces behavioral and neurological abnormalities in transgenic mice.
One hypothesis for the etiology of behavioral disorders is that infection by a virus induces neuronal cell dysfunctions resulting in a wide range of behavioral abnormalities. However, a direct linkage between viral infections and neurobehavioral disturbances associated with human psychiatric disorders has not been identified. Here, we show that transgenic mice expressing the phosphoprotein (P) ...
متن کاملCardiac physiology in transgenic mice.
By use of gene targeting and/or transgenesis, it is now possible to make defined changes in genes whose functions underlie mammalian cardiovascular function. Because of technical and economic considerations, these experiments are largely confined to the mouse. Genetic modification of the loci responsible for aspects of cardiac development, differentiation, and function via gene targeting, as we...
متن کاملNeurological Abnormalities in ASD
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have a 3 to 22-fold increase in the risk of developing epilepsy as compared to typically developing individuals and up to 25% of individuals with ASD will experience clinical seizures at some point in their life. It is interesting (and I have see this in practice a number of times) that a significant number of individuals with ASD manifest epilept...
متن کاملFunctional abnormalities in transgenic mice expressing a mutant rhodopsin gene.
PURPOSE To evaluate the consequences of the expression of a mutant mouse opsin gene on rod- and cone-mediated function. Experimental conditions were chosen to provide a basis of comparison to the results reported for patients with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP) in whom the proline at position 23 has been replaced by a histidine (P23H). METHODS The mutated gene product resulted...
متن کاملDevelopmental abnormalities in mice transgenic for bovine oncostatin M.
Oncostatin M belongs to the subfamily of hematopoietin cytokines that binds a receptor complex containing gp130. To date, only the human form of oncostatin M has been identified, and its evolutionary conservation is unresolved. We have isolated a bovine gene whose open reading frame encodes a precursor protein that is 58% identical to human oncostatin M. A comparison of the bovine and human ami...
