Transgenic Mammals and Cell Lines for the Identification of Glutamate Transporter Modulators

摘要

The invention includes a transgenic, non-human mammal useful for identifying candidate compounds for treating neurological and/or psychiatric disorders. Incorporated into the genome of the transgenic mammal is a transgene comprising a glutamate transporter promoter operatively linked to a reporter gene. The transgenic non-human mammal and cells isolated therefrom can be used as an in vivo model for the identification of candidate compounds useful for the treatment of neurological and/or psychiatric disorders.
