Abstract excerpt
Mutant ddY/DAO- mice lacking D-amino-acid oxidase (DAO) activity were examined for the cause of their lack of enzyme activity. Total RNA was extracted from the kidney of the ddY/DAO- mice and cDNA was synthesized. After cDNA encoding DAO was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction it was cloned into a plasmid and sequenced. Comparison of the DAO cDNA sequence with that of normal BALB/c mice revealed the...
