摘要 |
PCT No. PCT/CA96/00171 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 6, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 6, 1996 PCT Filed Mar. 22, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/32087 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 17, 1996This invention relates to transgenic fish containing a humanized insulin gene which has been altered to secrete human insulin and its use in the treatment of diabetes. In the transgenic fish of the present invention, the fish insulin gene has been modified to code for human insulin gene while leaving the regulatory sequences of fish insulin gene intact. Islet transplantation may provide the meticulous glycemia control required in the treatment of diabetes. The islet tissue of the present invention offers an inexpensive and a nearly unlimited supply of human insulin-producing tissue and therefore, may be useful in the treatment of diabetes. In this regard, an improved method of mass isolation of islet tissue is provided by the present invention. The present invention also provides the use of the humanized insulin gene to promote growth in fish. |
