Spontaneous and engineered mutant mice as models for experimental and comparative pathology: history, comparison, and developmental technology.

Abstract excerpt

During the last half-century pathologists have explored the biologic mechanisms associated with inherited human and veterinary diseases by using inbred and inbred mutant (spontaneous) strains of mice. The first successful gene transfer to mice by pronuclear injection of the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene and rabbit and human beta-globulin genes was achieved in the early 1980s. This accomplishment was...
