Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent reports have suggested effectiveness of RNA interference (RNAi) for the analysis of gene functions in the brain. This study sought to determine the efficiency of local small interfering RNA (siRNA) injections, comparing this approach with animals generated through classical gene targeting. METHODS: Small interfering RNA against dopamine transporter (DAT) (35 microg/14 days) or tyrosine...
