Behavioral and physiological effects of biotechnology procedures used for gene targeting in mice.
The effects of gene-targeting procedures on the behavior and physiological development of (chimeric) mice have been investigated. We used six groups of mice, each of them undergoing specific aspects of the biotechnological procedure, including electroporation, microinjection, and/or blastocyst culture. Changes in behavior and physiological development of the progeny (age 4-30 weeks) were invest...
متن کاملGenetically modified mice- Methods, applications and outlook
Background & Aim: Transgenic mice, of tengenerated by random integration of foreign genes into the mouse genome or by targeted mutation in a particular gene, have demonstrated to be a very effective tool for studying gene function in living things. In this review article, we discussed on the current methods of generating genetically-modified mice and their related problems and then investigated...
متن کاملEffects of Heat Shock and 2, 4-D Treatment on Morphological and Physiological Characteristics of Microspores and Microspore-Derived Doubled Haploid Plants in Brassica napus L.
Background: Stresses such as heat shock, starvation, or osmotic is essential to lead isolated microspores towards embryogenesis. Despite the effectiveness of stresses in embryogenesis, they exert adverse effects on metabolism and growth of the regenerated plants. Objectives: The effects of heat shock and 2,4-D treatment on total protein content of treated microspores, morphological and physiol...
متن کاملThe Effects of Kainic Acid-Induced Seizure on Gene Expression of Brain Neurotransmitter Receptors in Mice Using RT2 PCR Array
Introduction: Kainic acid (KA) induces neuropathological changes in specific regions of the mouse hippocampus comparable to changes seen in patients with chronic temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). According to different studies, the expression of a number of genes are altered in the adult rat hippocampus after status epilepticus (SE) induced by KA. This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate changes...
متن کاملCell-specific targeting by engineered M13 bacteriophage expressing VEGFR2 nanobody
Objective(s): Filamentous bacteriophage M13 was genetically engineered to specifically target mammalian cells for gene delivery purpose. Materials and Methods: A vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2)-specific nanobody was genetically fused to the capsid gene III of M13 bacteriophage (pHEN4/3VGR19). A mammalian expression construct containing Cop-green fluorescent protein (Cop-G...
