摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel use of a transgenic mouse deficient in α1G T-type calcium channel as an animal model for the study of neuropathic diseases, more precisely, a novel use of a transgenic mouse having resistance against neuropathic pain as an animal model for the development of a therapeutic agent and a treatment method for human neuropathic diseases. The transgenic mouse deficient in α1G T-type calcium channel having resistance against neuropathic pain, provided by the present invention, can be effectively used for the development of a therapeutic agent and a treatment method for human neuropathic diseases.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for screening therapeutic drugs of schizophrenia using an animal model of the disease. More specifically, this invention relates to a screening method based on the phospholipase C β1 (PLCβ1) knockout mouse as an animal model of schizophrenia with all the major symptoms of the human disease. This knockout mouse exhibits symptoms similar to human schizophrenia such as locomotor hyperactivity, impaired prepulse inhibition of the startle response, lack of barbering and nesting behaviors, socially subordinate status, impaired learning, and lack of type II theta rhythm which has been implicated in working memory. Thus, the knockout mouse of the present invention can be useful as an animal for screening therapeutic drugs against schizophrenia.
