Abstract
The present invention provides genetically modified animals and cells comprising edited chromosomal sequences encoding ABC transporter proteins. In particular, the animals or cells are generated using a zinc finger nuclease-mediated editing process. Also provided are methods of assessing the effects of agents in genetically modified animals and cells comprising edited chromosomal sequences encoding ABC transporter proteins.

28. A method for assessing the effect of an agent in an animal, the method comprising contacting a genetically modified animal comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding an ABC transporter protein with the agent, and comparing results of a selected parameter to results obtained from contacting a wild-type animal with the same agent, wherein the selected parameter is chosen from:
-
a) rate of elimination of the agent or its metabolite(s); b) circulatory levels of the agent or its metabolite(s); c) bioavailability of the agent or its metabolite(s); d) rate of metabolism of the agent or its metabolite(s); e) rate of clearance of the agent or its metabolite(s); f) toxicity of the agent or its metabolite(s); and g) efficacy of the agent or its metabolite(s). - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A method for assessing the therapeutic potential of an agent in an animal, the method comprising contacting a genetically modified animal comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding an ABC transporter protein with the agent, and comparing results of a selected parameter to results obtained from a wild-type animal with no contact with the same agent, wherein the selected parameter is chosen from:
-
a) spontaneous behaviors; b) performance during behavioral testing; c) physiological anomalies; d) abnormalities in tissues or cells; e) biochemical function; and f) molecular structures. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37)
