Abstract excerpt
The nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse is a valuable model for human type 1 diabetes and the development of humanized mice. Although the importance of this mouse strain is widely recognized, its usefulness is constrained by the absence of NOD embryonic stem (ES) lines with adequate germline transmission competence. In the present study, we established two germline transmission-competent types of cell lines from NOD...
