Targeting strategy

Gene targeting strategy for B-hRETN mice. 

Exons 1-5 of the mouse Retn gene, which encodes the full-length protein, was replaced by human RETN exons 1~4 in B-hRETN mice.

Protein expression analysis

Strain specific resistin expression analysis in homozygous B-hRETN mice by ELISA. Serum samples were collected from wild-type mice C57BL/6 mice (+/+) and homozygous B-hRETN mice (H/H), and analyzed by ELISA with species-specific resistin ELISA kit. Mouse resistin was detectable in wild-type mice (A). Human resistin was detectable in homozygous B-hRETN mice but not in wild-type mice (B).

Summary

Protein expression analysis:

Human RETN was only detectable in serum of homozygous B-hRETN mice, and mouse RETN was detectable only in wild-type C57BL/6 mice.
