  • TRYPANOSOME RESISTANT NON-HUMAN TRANSGENIC ANIMAL
    Publication number: 20110030078
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a Trypanosome-resistant, non-human transgenic animal whose somatic and germ cells comprise a nucleic acid which encodes an apolipoprotein L-I polypeptide (apoL-I). The apoL-I protein has the amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, and SEQ ID NO: 5.
