Abstract excerpt
To test the effect of increased AT1 receptor expression on blood pressure, we used gene targeting to generate mouse lines with a tandem duplication of the AT1A receptor gene locus (Agtr1a) along with >10 kb of 5' flanking DNA. By successive breeding, we generated mice with 3 and 4 copies of the Agtr1a gene locus on an inbred 129/Sv background. AT1A mRNA expression and AT1-specific binding of 125I-angiotensin II...
