Abstract excerpt
We investigated the effect of exogenous Bcl-2 on motor neurons in transgenic mice expressing human Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase with a G93A mutation (G93A mice), using adenoviral vectors with a cassette for Bcl-2 (AxCALNLBcl-2) and Cre recombinase (AxCANCre) to express Bcl-2 by Cre-loxP recombination. We were able to detect Bcl-2 in the hypoglossal nuclei of G93A mice for at least 8 weeks after inoculation with...
