Abstract excerpt
Weaver (wv/wv) mutant mice lose most granule cells of the cerebellum during the first 2 weeks of postnatal life; 'Purkinje cell degeneration' (pcd/pcd) mutants lose virtually all Purkinje cells between postnatal days 17 and 45. Both these neurological mutations are autosomal recessive. We designed a breeding protocol that, in theory, should result in the production of mice with a doubly mutant, wv/wv*pcd/pcd,...
