...Elizabeth A. Grove; Brenda P. Williams; Da-Qing Li; Mohammad Hajihosseini; André Friedrich; Jack Price ABSTRACT We have labelled precursor cells in the embryonic rat cerebral cortex using BAG, a retroviral vector that expresses β -galactosidase. We had previously reported that labelled precursor...

...Jack Price; Linda Thurlow ABSTRACT We have used a retroviral vector that codes for the bacterial enzyme β-galactosidase to study cell lineage in the rat cerebral cortex. This vector has been used to label progenitor cells in the cerebral cortices of rat embryos during the period of neurogenesis...

... retroviruses as vectors for introducing genes either directly into embryos or into embryonal carcinoma (EC) or embryonic stem (ES) cells which can then be used to form chimaeric mice (Bradley, Evans, Kaufman & Robertson, 1984). There are a number of advantages to using retroviral vectors, the major one...
