Abstract:
Objective To construct an anti-keratin autoantibody (AK auto Ab) transgenic mouse model. Methods Linearized transgene plasmid was microinjected into the zygotes of CBA?C57BL/6 mice, which were transplanted into the oviducts of pseudo-pregnant mice. PCR was used to identify the genotype of the offsprings, and ELISA was applied to measure the serum levels of AK auto Ab. Results Twelve transgene positive founder mice were obtained, and 9 of them produced offsprings as the third generation. The serum level of AK auto Ab was increased in 3 of the transgenic mice. Conclusions AK auto Ab transgenic mice were successfully established; these mice could serve as an animal model with increased serum levels of AK auto Ab.
