Abstract excerpt
When knockout mice are used to test the efficacy of recombinant human proteins, the animals often develop antibodies to the enzyme, precluding long-term pre-clinical studies. This has been a problem with a number of models, for example, the evaluation of gene or enzyme replacement therapies in a knockout model of glycogen storage disease type II (GSDII; Pompe syndrome). In this disease, the lack of acid...
