MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Genetically Modified; Blotting, Southern; Disease Models, Animal; Electroretinography; Embryo Transfer; Gene Expression Regulation / genetics; Genetic Engineering; Microscopy, Electron; Molecular Sequence Data; Phenotype; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Retina / pathology; Retina / physiopathology; Retina / ultrastructure; Retinal Cone Photoreceptor Cells / physiopathology; Retinal Cone Photoreceptor Cells / ultrastructure; Retinal Degeneration / physiopathology; Retinitis Pigmentosa / genetics; Retinitis Pigmentosa / physiopathology; Rhodopsin / chemistry; Rhodopsin / genetics; Swine / embryology; Swine / genetics; Transgenes
TL;DR:
These transgenic pigs that express a mutated rhodopsin gene will provide a large animal model for study of the protracted phase of cone degeneration found in RP and for preclinical treatment trials.
