Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dimeric human erythropoietin (dHuEPO) peptides are reported to exhibit significantly higher biological activity than the monomeric form of recombinant EPO. The objective of this study was to produce transgenic (tg) mice expressing dHuEPO and to investigate the characteristics of these mice. METHODS: A dHuEPO-expressing vector under the control of the goat beta-casein promoter, which produced a dimer...
