mRNA expression analysis
Strain specific analysis of PCSK9 gene expression in wild-type mice and B-hPCSK9 mice by RT-PCR. Mouse Pcsk9 mRNA was detectable in liver of wild-type mice (+/+). Human PCSK9 mRNA was detectable only in homozygous B-hPCSK9 but not in wild-type mice.
Protein expression analysis
Strain specific PCSK9 expression analysis in homozygous B-hPCSK9 mice by ELISA. Serum was collected from wild-type mice (+/+) and homozygous B-hPCSK9 mice (H/H), and analyzed by ELISA with species-specific PCSK9 ELISA kit. Mouse PCSK9 was detectable in wild-type mice. Human PCSK9 was exclusively detectable in homozygous B-hPCSK9 mice but not in wild-type mice.
