Research Abstract |
We successfully produced Rbp4 deficient mice, followed by the establishment of humanized RBP4 mice(Rbp4^<hRBP4>). These mice were mated with Ttr^<hTTR> mice to produce double humanized mice at both Ttr and Rbp4 loci. We obtained expected results from double humanized mice by molecular and biochemical analyses. These mice as optimum mouse model for familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy will be useful to analyze mechanisms for amyloid deposition and to devise a new way of treatment.
