A line of transgenic mice (aHpS_1l; where a H is human a-globin) was created in which the human s and human a2 globin genes, each linked to the 13-globin locus control region, were cointegrated into the mouse genome. On a normal genetic background, the transgenic mice produced 36% human (s-globin chains with an al/yps ratio of 1.3. Higher levels of Ps were achieved by breeding the transgenic mice with mutant mice carrying a mouse pJm4or-globin gene deletion. Mice heterozygous for the pmajor deletion (a .8S[[pMDj; MD, mouse deletion) had 54% PJS with an all/ps ratio of 1.0; mice homozygous for the pmajor deletion (aHps[pMDDj) had 72.5% fis and an aH/ps ratio of 0.73. Because mouse a chains inhibit hemoglobin (Hb) S polymerization, we bred the mice to heterozygosity for a mouse a-globin deletion. These mice (aHpIS[aMDpMDDj) had an increased a H/ps ratio of 0.89 but expressed 65% ps. Expression of the human genes cured the thalassemic phenotype associated with the murine pmajor deletion. Transgenic aVIHS[pMDD] mice had
