Human Genome-Wide siRNA Library
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsRNAi targets gene silencing, and is achieved in mammalian cells through the use of short interfering RNA molecules, or siRNAs. RNAi has accelerated the functional characterization of disease-relevant genes for drug discovery and basic research efforts.
Extruded Rodent Diet
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsGlobal 2019 rodent diet is designed to improve reproduction and performance of genetically engineered mice and other poorly performing rodents. It contains 19% protein and 9% fat content, and meets the nutrient requirements of gestation, lactation, and early growth of rats and mice.
Antibody Development Through Genetic Immunization
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsCustom monoclonal and polyclonal antibody development through genetic immunization involves direct immunization of the host animal with plasmid DNA encoding a protein of interest. The immunized host then produces the encoded protein and raises antibodies.
