摘要
This invention relates to the engineering of animal cells, preferably mammalian, more preferably rat, that are deficient due to the disruption of gene(s) or gene product(s) resulting in altered nervous system function. In one aspect, the altered function results in pain in the mammal. In another aspect, the nervous system dysfunction results in prolonged hyperalgesia, allodynia, and loss of sensory function. In another aspect, the invention relates to genetically modified rats, as well as the descendants and ancestors of such animals, which are animal models of altered nervous system function mediated pain and methods of their use. In another aspect, the genetically modified rats, as well as the descendants and ancestors of such animals, are animal models of nervous system dysfunction resulting in prolonged hyperalgesia, allodynia, and loss of sensory function and methods of their use. In another aspect, the present invention provides a method of identifying a compound useful for the treatment or prevention of pain.
