Abstract excerpt
We developed 2bF9 transgenic mice in a hemophilia B mouse model with the expression of human factor IX (FIX) under control of the platelet-specific integrin alphaIIb promoter, to determine whether ectopically expressing FIX in megakaryocytes can enable the storage of FIX in platelet alpha-granules and corrects the murine hemophilia B phenotype. FIX was detected in the platelets and plasma of 2bF9 transgenic mice...
