Abstract:Green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic laboratory animals (mice, rats, rabbits etc.) are commonly used in basic research for modelling human diseases, studying organ development, cell transfer during pregnancy or tissue engineering. The expression of the fluorescent protein can be either ubiquitous or tissue-specific, depending on the transgenic construct and the integration site of the transgene. Despite the wide applications, the data about the physiological parameters of GFP transgenic animals are lim… Show more
