abstractText | We succeeded in producing the beta-galactosidase-deficient knockout mouse by gene targeting in embryonic stem cells. The mutant mice developed progressive spastic diplegia within a few months after birth, and died of emaciation at 7-10 months of age. This is an authentic murine model of human G(M1)-gangliosidosis, and is useful for studies of its pathogenesis and treatment. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V. |
