Expression of beta-galactosidase in mouse brain: utilization of a novel nonreplicative Sindbis virus vector as a neuronal gene delivery system.

abstract：:Apo(a) is a very atherogenic plasma protein without apparent function, which is highly expressed in humans. The variation in plasma Lp(a) concentration among individuals is considerable. Approximately 10-15% of the white population exhibit plasma Lp(a) concentrations above the atherogenic cut-off value of approximatel...
