Abstract excerpt
DJ-1 mutation induces early-onset Parkinson's disease, and conversely over-expression of DJ-1 is associated with cancer in numerous tissues. A gene-trap screening library conducted in embryonic stem cells was utilized for generation of a DJ-1 mutant mouse. Real-time PCR and immunoblotting were utilized to confirm functional mutation of the DJ-1 gene. Normal DJ-1 protein expression in adult mouse tissue was...
