Membrane cofactor protein (MCP; CD46) expression in transgenic mice
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
Human membrane cofactor protein (MCP; CD46) is a widely distributed complement regulator. In the mouse, expression of MCP is largely restricted to the testis while a related, widely expressed protein (Crry) appears to perform MCP's (CD46) regulatory activity. We have developed two mouse strains transgenic for human MCP (CD46) utilizing an approximately 400 kb YAC clone carrying the complete gene. A third mouse...
