Characterizing a Lethal CAG-ACE2 Transgenic Mouse Model for SARS-CoV-2 infection with Using Cas9-Enhanced Nanopore Sequencing
2024-05-31
Abstract excerpt
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has underscored the necessity for functional transgenic animal models for testing. Mouse lines with overexpression of the human receptor ACE2 serve as the primary animal model to study COVID-19 infection. Overexpression of ACE2 under a strong ubiquitous promoter facilitates convenient and sensitive testing of COVID-19 pathology. We performed pronuclear microinjections using a 5 kb CAG-ACE2...
