Tg(SNCA*A30P)2Nbm

To generate the PAC-Tg(SNCAA30P) transgene, the 146 kb RPCI-1 human male P1 artificial chromosome (PAC) clone 27M07, containing the entire human SNCA (synuclein, alpha (non A4 component of amyloid precursor)) gene and 34 kb of its upstream region, was modified to have the A30P human mutation associated with autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease. This transgene was microinjected into the pronuclei of fertilized FVB/N ova. The transgene inserted onto a somatic chromosome. (J:154971, J:156741)
