Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To establish the transgenic mouse of cTnT(R141W) gene to make an animal model of dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS: A transgenic plasmid was constructed by inserting the cTnT(R141W) gene driven by the alpha-MHC promoter. The expression level of the gene was determined with Northern blotting. Pathologic changes were observed by light microscopy and transmission electronic microscopy and analyzed with...
