Characterization of Fluorescent Eye Markers for Mammalian Transgenic Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Genotyping mice by DNA based methods is both laborious and costly. As an alternative, we systematically examined fluorescent proteins expressed in the lens as transgenic markers for mice. A set of eye markers has been selected such that double and triple transgenic animals can be visually identified and that fluorescence intensity in the eyes can be used to distinguish heterozygous from homozygous mice. Taken together, these eye markers dramatically reduce the time and cost of genotyping transgenics and empower analysis of genetic interaction.

Spermatogonial Stem Cells: Biology, Isolation, Culture, Characterization, and Practical Perspectives
Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) also known as germ stem cells (GSCs) are the basis of spermatogenesis process in the testis. Furthermore, they are also valuable cells with different applications in developmental biology, transgenesis technology, and clinic. Understanding the new findings related to the cell and molecular biology of SSCs and the methods for isolation and maintenance of these ce...
متن کاملValidation of retinal imaging for characterizing alpha-synuclein-eGFP deposition in a transgenic mouse model of Parkinson’s Disease/Dementia with Lewy Bodies
Abnormal accumulation of alpha-synuclein has been hypothesized to underlie neuronal cell death and synaptic dysfunctional leading to motor and cognitive symptoms in synucleinopathies such as Parkinson’s Disease (PD), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), and Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA). Transgenic mouse models with overexpression of alpha-synuclein have proved useful in characterizing the behavio...
متن کاملDetermination of genetic uniformity in transgenic cotton plants using DNA markers (RAPD and ISSR) and SDS-PAGE
One concern about using transgenic plants is the genetic variation that occurred from theirs tissue culture and regeneration. Molecular markers are an important element for efficient and effective determination of genetic variation. The present work was carried out to assess the genetic uniformity of transgenic cottons (Bt and chitinase lines), using RAPD, ISSR molecular markers and SDS-PAGE an...

The novel fluorescentheterocyclic bidentate ligands have been synthesized by the high yields reaction of 8-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-Iso-butyl-3H-imidazo[4',5':3,4]benzo[1,2-c]isoxazol-5-amine with p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and p-chlorobenzaldehyde. The ligands reacted with Zn(II) ion to gained novel complexes. The optical properties of these structures were checked and the outcomes represented that t...
