Title:
DIABETIC MODEL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003019197
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to an animal e.g. rodent such as bank vole (clethrionomys glareolus) model for diabetes and a method for obtaining said animal model. The invention also relates to the uses of the animal model for screening for or testing compounds for treating or preventing diabetes symptoms. The invention further relates to an assay for determining an individual's susceptibility to developing diabetes. The invention also relates to nucleic acid molecules isolated from Ljungan virus a picornavirus and to polypeptides encoded by any portion of said nucleic acid molecule.
