Genetic element from human surfactant protein SP-C gene confers bronchiolar-alveolar cell specificity in transgenic mice
1 Oct 1991
Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice bearing chimeric genes consisting of 5'-sequences derived from the human surfactant protein C (SP-C) gene and the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene were generated. Analysis of CAT activity was utilized to demonstrate tissue-specific and developmental expression of chimeric genes containing 3.7 kb of sequences from the human SP-C gene. Lung-specific expression of the 3.7...
