This targeting construct also contains a fluxed neomycin resistance gene. The resulting transgenic animals are “humanized” for the bradykinin B1 receptor and are effectively on a null background for native, functional B1 receptor activity. These animals may be crossed with a Cre-deleter strain to generate transgenic offspring which absent of the floxed marker gene. The transgenic animals described herein provide for a model to The transgenic mice of the present invention provide for an animal model enabling the analysis of compounds that are selective for the human B1 bradykinin receptor, relative to the rodent (e.g., rat or mouse) B1 bradykinin receptor. | 01-01-2009 |
20100029012 | Method for identifying modulators of the NRF2-KEAP1-AREP pathway - A method for identifying modulators of the Keap1-NrG-ARE pathway is described. In particular, an assay is described that identifies molecules that inhibit the binding of a labeled Nrf2 peptide with the kelch domain of the Keap1 protein. Molecules that inhibit the binding are activators of the Keap 1-Nrf2-ARE pathway. Activation of the Keap 1-Nrf2-ARE pathway may result in an increased accumulation of Nrf2 and the subsequent induction of protective enzymes, for example, the phase 2 detoxification enzymes. Activators of the Keap1-NrG-ARE pathway are useful for combating oxidative stress-related disorders, such as those associated with cancer, emphysema, Huntington's disease, light-induced retinal damage, and stroke. | 02-04-2010 |
