1.   Both Abgenix Inc. of Fremont, and Medarex have developed genetically altered mice that can produce fully human antibodies.

2.   Charles River Laboratories, which creates genetically altered mice and rats, was one of the biggest holdings in the biotech fund last quarter.

3.   Continued studies with genetically altered mice should also lead to a greater understanding of how neurochemicals control brain development and function, she said.

4.   Emory researchers noted the genetically altered mice developed vasopressin receptors in the same parts of the brain as in prairie voles.

5.   In other fields, colleagues sharing a genetically altered mouse or a special reagent will often demand co-authorship on the resulting paper.

6.   The altered mice also pursue females monomaniacally, mounting them repeatedly even when the females are not in heat and screech vocally in apparent protest.

7.   The closely held Palo Alto, California-based company is developing genetically altered mice to produce human proteins for fighting and diagnosing disease.

8.   The first time the altered mice got cocaine, they ran around more frenetically than before, Hen said.

9.   The scientists were inspired to consider leptin as a puberty factor by previous experiments in which they had worked with genetically altered mice lacking the leptin gene.

10.   This genetically altered mouse is ultra-sensitive.
