| Research Abstract |
Features of lipoprotein metabolism in rabbits, unlike mouse, resemble to human, we planned to make human apoCIII transgenic (Tg) rabbits to reveal its functions on lipoprotein metabolism and atherogenesis. For the first year, we injected more than 500 embryos but failed to obtain any positiveTg rabbits due to low number of living pups born. After that, we modified the protocol of microinjection. In the second year, we successfully got 48 alive pups. Although we still did not get any positive rabbits that carry human apoCIII gene, it is quite possible that we will be successful soon. The work is under way for the further experiment.
