ABSTRACT:
A transgenic non-human animal with alterations in the MBL gene is prepared by introduction of a gene encoding an altered MBL protein into a host non-human animal. Methods for using transgenic mice so generated to screen for agents that effect MBL's cellular modulating activity are also provided.
