AI Technical Summary
Due to the differences in the COL3A1 amino acid sequence in animals and the corresponding proteins in humans, it is difficult for the prior art to accurately study the role of type III collagen in human diseases in animal models.
Through gene editing technology, the human COL3A1 gene was knocked into the H11 site of chromosome 11 of the fertilized egg of mouse to construct a mouse model of humanized COL3A1 gene. This model is able to stably express the human COL3A1 gene, emulating the function of human type III collagen.
This humanized COL3A1 gene mouse model provides a more human-friendly biological model for studying the structural and biological role of type III collagen, tissue fibrosis, skin, heart disease and related drug and drug device screening and safety evaluation, and improves the accuracy and effectiveness of the research.
