Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We generated transgenic mouse, in which cDNA of firefly luciferase-GFP fusion protein was knocked in at HCN4 locus (HCN4+/Luc), and visualized HCN4-expressing neurons in central nervous system. HCN4-expressing neurons were found in dorsal horn of spinal cord, and in III layer of sensory cortex.
