Tg(APOE-NPC1L1)20Lqyu

A transgenic construct containing the human NPC1 (Niemann-Pick disease, type C1, gene)-like 1 (NPC1L1) gene under the control of the human apolipoprotein E (APOE) promoter and hepatic control region was injected into fertilized B6D2F1/Hsd mouse eggs. Two lines were established, L1-Tg20 and L1-Tg112. Transgene expression is detected in liver by Western blot analysis and is localized to the canalicular membrane. (J:124193)
