TL;DR: Transfection of NP-C fibroblasts with wild-type NPC1 cDNA resulted in correction of their excessive lysosomal storage of LDL cholesterol, thereby defining the critical role of NPC1 in regulation of intracellular cholesterol trafficking.
Murine model of Niemann-Pick C disease: mutation in a cholesterol homeostasis gene.
Stacie K. Loftus,Jill A. Morris,Eugene D. Carstea,Jessie Z. Gu,Christiano Cummings,Anthony Brown,Jane S. Ellison,Kousaku Ohno,Melissa A. Rosenfeld,Danilo A. Tagle,Peter G. Pentchev,William J. Pavan +11 more
TL;DR: The mouse model may provide an important resource for studying the role of NPC1 in cholesterol homeostasis and neurodegeneration and for assessing the efficacy of new drugs for NP-C disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, three overlapping yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) spanning the 1 centimorgan human NP-C interval were introduced stably into CT60 cells and analyzed for correction of the cellular phenotype.
