AAVs for gene delivery in mouse models

Mouse model collection
 
Transgenic mice
 
Mouse model: Transgenic mouse named Tg-Jazz (CNR patented)
Genetic background: generated on the Hybrid genetic background BDF1 (C57Black6 x DBA)
Transgene: Zinc Finger Artificial Transcription Factor ZF-ATF “Jazz” (GenBank accession number AJ243577.1.)
Expression: muscle-specific
Contacts: Claudio Passananti (IBPM): claudio.passananti@uniroma1.it
               Elisabetta Mattei (IBCN): elisabetta.mattei@cnr.it
 
Mouse model: Transgenic mdx mouse named mdx-Jazz
Genetic background: generated by the crossbreeding of Jazz transgenic mouse with the Dystrophin-deficient C57BL/10ScSn-DMDmdx/Jmice (mdx)
Transgene: Zinc Finger Artificial Transcription Factor ZF-ATF “Jazz” 
Expression of transgene: muscle-specific
Application: Pathologic mouse model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): evaluation of muscle rescue induced by ZF-ATF expression
