The present invention is directed to the production, breeding and use of
transgenic non-human animals such as mice in which specific genes or
portions of genes have been replaced by homologues from another animal to
make the physiology of the animals so modified more like that of the
other animal with respect to drug pharmacokinetics and metabolism. The
invention also extends to the use of the genetically modified non-human
animals of the invention for pharmacological and/or toxicological
studies.
