MUTANT NON-HUMAN MAMMAL FOR THE EXPRESSION OF THE ALPHA6 SUBUNIT OF THE NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR AND USE FOR THE SCREENING OF SUBSTANCES LIKELY TO INTERACT WITH THIS RECEPTOR
MUTANT NON-HUMAN MAMMAL FOR THE EXPRESSION OF THE ALPHA6 SUBUNIT OF THE NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR AND USE FOR THE SCREENING OF SUBSTANCES LIKELY TO INTERACT WITH THIS RECEPTOR
The invention concerns a non-human mammal carrying a mutation in the gene coding for the alpha6 subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), said mutation preventing expression of said nAChR alpha6 subunit in a functional form in the mammal. The invention also concerns synaptosome preparations obtained from said animals and cell cultures obtained by mutation of the alpha6 subunit as defined above.
