Abstract:
Transgenic mice were generated carrying either the long terminal repeat of Human Immunodeficiency Virus fused to the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyl transferase reporter gene or a control element of the murine alpha A crystallin gene fused to the tat gene of human immunodeficiency virus. By crossing these two strains, progeny were obtained which carried both transgenes. The bacterial reporter gene was specifically transactivated in the eyes of these animals.
