apoGene GmbH & Co. KGBIOTECH AGRO, FOOD, ENVIRONMENTKeywords: Xenotransplantation, Knock Out, Tissue Engineering / Cell CultureapoGene is focused on the field of xenotransplantation. Rabbits and pigsare genetically modified (transfer, knock out and recombination of endogenousgenes) for influencing the different steps of the rejection process after xenotransplantationof animals tissues and organs. We are also investigating theexpression of endogenous retroviral sequences after xenogenetic transfer.For the development of knock out animals we have developed and patentedan alternative strategy, the so called screen-out of hemozygote carriers offunctional defects in natural or mutagenized populations. The technique willalso be very interesting for the establishment of animal models for basicand applied research.Contact:Prof. Dr. Gottfried BremLarezhausen 2D-86567 HilgertshausenPhone: +49 (0) 8250 9279010Fax: +49 (0) 8250 9279019E-Mail: gottfried.brem@apogene-gmbh.deInternet: www.apogene-gmbh.deAssign GroupCROKeywords: Analysis, Clinical Research, Logistics, Monitoring, Medical Writing,Pharmacology, Toxicology, Insourcing, Outsourcing, RecruitingThe Assign Group, an international expert in pharmaceutical developmentoffering full service globally to <strong><strong>Bio</strong>tech</strong>nology, Pharmaceutical and MedicalDevice Companies.
