1 1 Mammals 2.0

2 Humanized mammals A 10 Mb-sized region of.. human chromosome 22 to be stably maintained in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, and in mice... functional expression of human genes from the HAC in mice. (Human immune functions) [Note: 300 of these = 1 genome] (Nature Biotech 2000 “Manipulation of human minichromosomes to carry greater than megabase-sized chromosome inserts”) Human liver enzymes for drug toxicity testing CYP2 D6, C9, C19, etc. Human / mouse neural chimeras: (Stem Cells. 2007 “Brain transplantation of immortalized human neural stem cells promotes functional recovery in mouse intracerebral hemorrhage stroke model”) Next step “personalized mammals” For transplants and drug testing
