Transgenic mouse for screening and for studies of the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of ligands acting on the oestrogen receptor and its intracellular receptors, and method for the preparation thereof
The object of the invention is a method for the production of a non-human transgenic mammal by means of which it is possible to monitor in vivo and in all the tissues the state of activation of any intracellular receptor, utilizing a reporter gene inducible by natural or synthetic molecules which modulate the activity of such receptor. The mammal is question is preferably a mouse.
