Transgenic Artifacts Caused by Passenger Human Growth Hormone
Journal Contribution - Journal Editorial
The minigene encoding human growth hormone (hGH) has been incorporated into over 300 transgenic mouse lines to improve transgene expression. However, unexpected and functional hGH expression can drastically alter physiology. We list here the mouse lines in which ectopic hGH has been confirmed, and we provide a wiki for lines awaiting analysis.
