Abstract excerpt
We generated transgenic mice that specifically express foreign genes in myelinating Schwann cells. A 1.1 kb segment of 5' flanking sequence from the rat P0 gene was used to drive expression of the genes encoding human growth hormone (hGH) and bacterial diphtheria toxin A chain (DT-A). The P0-hGH mice expressed hGH in myelinating Schwann cells, but not in nonmyelinating Schwann cells, the central nervous system,...
