Abstract excerpt
Insertion of a human keratin 18 (K18)-bacterial beta-galactosidase (LacZ) fusion gene into mice has led to a unique transgenic line in which expression of the transgene is subject to unusual germ line-specific, genomic imprinting effects. Fetal expression of the LacZ reporter gene depends on the gender of the transmitting parent, with appropriate expression in liver after maternal inheritance, and ectopic...
