Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice bearing 4.8 kilobases (kb) of upstream rat tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) sequences linked to a human growth hormone gene (hGH) exhibited cell-specific expression of hGH in all the appropriate catecholaminergic neurons in the central nervous system (CNS), although with different penetr...
