Genencor to Develop Immune Mice for Human Disease Study
Genencor International Inc plans to create transgenic mice with more humanlike immune systems at its Palo Alto lab. The immune mouse will aid research into AIDS, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and organ transplant issues, while the Cedar Rapids plant leverages enzymes from soil microbes for industry. The firm also secured a 17 million dollar DOE grant to advance biomass conversion to bioethanol and, with Eastman Chemical, develop vitamin C from glucose.
