摘要:
Provided are a highly-safe recombinant vaccinia virus that is effective in preventing the onset of symptoms due to infection by novel influenza viruses, and a vaccine for the novel influenza viruses containing the recombinant vaccinia virus. This recombinant vaccinia virus is capable of expressing the hemagglutinin protein genes of the novel influenza virus. This novel influenza vaccine contains the recombinant vaccinia virus.
摘要:
The present invention provides a mouse with liver damage, having a high degree of damage against the mouse's original hepatocytes while having a uPA gene in a heterozygous form, and a method for efficiently preparing the mouse. Specifically, the method for preparing a mouse with liver damage having the uPA gene in a heterozygous form comprises the following steps of: (i) transforming mouse ES cells with a DNA fragment containing a liver-specific promoter/enhancer and cDNA that encodes a urokinase-type plasminogen activator operably linked under the control thereof; (ii) injecting the transformed mouse ES cells obtained in step (i) into a host embryo; (iii) transplanting the host embryo obtained in step (ii) via the injection of the ES cells into the uterus of a surrogate mother mouse, so as to obtain a chimeric mouse; and (iv) crossing the chimeric mice obtained in step (iii), so as to obtain a transgenic mouse in which the DNA fragment is introduced in a heterozygous form.
