Lucаs is а pоst-dоctоrаl researcher investigating the role of ALFA signaling in lung development. Alfa5 mRNA expression occurs in mouse lungs around day 15 of development. However, when previous researchers created a “knockout” Alfa5 mouse, it only survived until 9 days of development, prior to when lungs form. A heterozygous Alfa5 mouse exhibited completely normal development. Therefore, Lucas decided he wanted to reduce Alfa5 expression in another way, to find out what the impact of this would be on lung development. The signaling molecule “TOYOTA” is a known inhibitor of ALFA5. Therefore, Lucas engineered a mouse that makes MORE TOYOTA protein than normal, because this would presumably reduce the level of Alfa5 expression. This is an example of:
