METHOD FOR GENE EXPRESSION SPECIFIC TO CEREBELLAR ASTROCYTE AND/OR BASKET CELL

摘要

Disclosed is a method for gene expression specific to a cerebellar astrocyte and/or a basket cell. A method for expressing a gene specifically in a cerebellar astrocyte and/or a basket cell of a target animal, comprising the step of introducing a lentivirus-derived vector carrying the gene into the target animal, wherein the gene is linked to the vector in such a manner that the gene is operable under the control of synapsin I promoter; a study on the function of the cerebellum using the method; and a vector, transgenic animal or the like for use in the method or study.
