      Description

      FGB is the beta component of fibrinogen, a blood-borne glycoprotein comprised of three pairs of nonidentical polypeptide chains, which is a plasma glycoprotein that is constitutively synthesized by liver.

      The exons 1~8 of mouse Fgb gene that encode the full-length protein were replaced by human FGB exons 1~8 in B-hFGB mice.

      FGB protein was detected in liver and plasma of homozygous B-hFGB mice.

      Application: This product is used for pharmacodynamics and safety evaluation of anticoagulant drugs.

      Targeting strategy

      Gene targeting strategy for B-hFGB mice. The exons 1~8 of mouse Fgb gene that encode the full-length protein were replaced by human FGB exons 1~8 in B-hFGB mice.

      mRNA expression analysis
      Strain specific analysis of FGB mRNA expression in wild-type C57BL/6 mice and B-hFGB mice by RT-PCR. Liver RNA was isolated from wildtype C57BL/6 mice (+/+) and homozygous B-hFGB mice (H/H), then cDNA libraries were synthesized by reverse transcription, followed by PCR with mouse or human FGB primers. Mouse Fgb mRNA was detectable only in wild-type C57BL/6 mice. Human FGB mRNA was detectable only in homozygous B-hFGB mice but not in wild-type mice.
      Protein expression analysis

      Western blot analysis of FGB protein expression in homozygous B-hFGB mice. Liver tissue lysates were collected from wild-type C57BL/6 mice (+/+) and homozygous B-hFGB mice (H/H), and then analyzed by western blot with species-specific anti-FGB antibody. 40 μg total proteins were loaded for western blotting analysis. FGB was detected in the liver. (Anti-Fibrinogen beta chain [EPR18145-84], ab189490)

      Western blot analysis of FGB protein expression in homozygous B-hFGB mice. Plasma tissue lysates were collected from wild-type C57BL/6 mice (+/+) and homozygous B-hFGB mice (H/H), and then analyzed by western blot with species-specific anti-FGB antibody. 10,20,and 30 μg total proteins were loaded for western blotting analysis. FGB was detected in plasma.
