  • Corticotropin-releasing factor overproducing transgenic mice
    Patent number: 6166287
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided CRF overproducing transgenic mice which exhibit endocrine abnormalities involving the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, such as elevated plasma levels of ACTH and glucocorticoids. The transgenic mice of the present invention represent a genetic model of CRF overproduction, providing a valuable tool for investigating the long term effects of CRF excess and dysregulation in the central nervous system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 4, 1999
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2000
    Assignees: The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, The Scripp Research Institute
