Abstract excerpt
A diabetic mouse model was produced using a mutant human hepatocyte nuclear factor-1alpha gene (HNF1alphaP291fsinsC) regulated by the porcine insulin promoter. The functionality of two different constructs containing HNF1alphaP291fsinsC, termed PD1 and PD2 (cytomegalovirus enhancer minus and plus), were examined in transgenic mice. The blood glucose levels and body weights of the PD1 transgenic mice did not...
