| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention features non-human transgenic animal models for gene function, wherein the transgenic animal is characterized by having altered endogenous apolipoprotein E gene function and a transgene for an exogenous human apolipoprotein E isoform. The transgenic animals may be either homozygous or heterozygous for the transgene. The invention also feature methods for using non-human transgenic animal models for the study of apolipoprotein E-mediated pathologies and the identification of compounds and therapies for such pathologies.</p> |
