Abstract excerpt
Mutations within the Pax-3 gene lead to a range of developmental abnormalities in both humans and mice. In this report, we have investigated the role that Pax-3 plays in neuronal cell development by specifically downregulating Pax-3 expression within a neuronal cell line. This was achieved by stably transfecting the neuronal cell line ND7 with an expression vector in which antisense Pax-3 RNA was produced under...
