Two Gene Fragments that Direct Podocyte-Specific Expression in Transgenic Mice
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
Transgenic manipulation of the glomerular visceral epithelial cell offers a powerful approach for studying the biology of this morphologically complex cell type. It has been previously demonstrated that an 8.3-kb and a 5.4-kb fragment of the murine Nphs1 (nephrin) promoter-enhancer drives lacZ expression in podocytes, brain, and pancreas of transgenic mice, recapitulating the expression pattern of the endogenous...
