  1. Cultured Transformed Human Podocytes

    These podocytes are obtained from human patients and have been transformed by laboratory viruses so that they are immortal. The SV40 T antigen that is used to transform the cells is temperature-sensitive and so at 37˚C it is not active. The cells…
  2. Inducible podocyte-specific gene expression in transgenic mice

    The podocyte plays a key role in glomerular function and glomerular disease. To facilitate studies of podocyte function, we have developed a transgenic mouse model with inducible expression in the podocyte. The tetracycline-inducible transgenic…
  3. Podocin-rtTA (Tg(NPHS2-rtTA2*M2)1Jbk Mouse

    Reverse tetracycline-controlled transgenic mouse model (Tet-On) under the control of the specific promoter for the glomerular podocyte protein (Podocin, NPHS2). Podocytes are post-mitotic epithelial cells that are positioned on the exterior aspect of…
