Research Abstract |
We are compiling the clinical data as to family and past history, or various expression of glaucoma linking to the information of genomic DNA. We are investigating transfection by several methods in order to overexpress variant prostacyclin receptor in cultured cells like vascular smooth muscle cells or other cells, as a previous step for making knock-in mouse of variant prostacyclin receptor.
