Characterization of Green Fluorescent Protein in Heart Valves of a Transgenic Swine Model for Partial Heart Transplant Research

A transgenic strain of pigs was created to express green fluorescent protein (GFP) ubiquitously using a pCAGG promoter. Here, we characterize GFP expression in the semilunar valves and great arteries of GFP-transgenic (GFP-Tg) pigs. Immunofluorescence was performed to visualize and quantify GFP expr...
