Production Of Transgenic Animals Notes

Advantages of Transgenic Animals.

Production of transgenic animals notes. PowerPoint PPT presentation. Transgenic organisms are organisms that are injected with foreign DNA. Milk as the Medium of Protein Production.

Milk is the secretion of mammary glands that can be collected frequently without causing any harm to the animal. The cells are then incorporated into an embryo at the blastocyst stage of development. Transgenic animals are created-To study how genes are regulated and how they affect the normal functions of the body and its development.

Theses mechanism is absent in cell culture. Transgenic animals produced with the purpose of producing better and good quality breed increased in milk yield as well as to produce organs to meet the demand for organ transplantation. Example- Transgenic rats rabbits pigs sheep etc.

Transgenic animals are being used to study gene mechanism and function to adapt pig organs to be transferred to humans to prepare recombinant pharmaceutical proteins in milk and egg white and to improve breeding and food production. Due to the controversial concept of cloning and scientific testing on animals there are many questions that revolve around this topic. Studying gene function.

Transgene is incorporated into the ES cell by Microinjection By a retro virus By electroporation Transgenic stem cells are grown in vitro. Benefits of Transgenic Animals The benefits of these animals to human welfare can be grouped into areas. There are many ways to produce transgenic animals.

The three main ways of producing transgenic animals are pronuclear manipulation embryonic stem ES cell manipulation and. Microinjection blastocyst injection and using a retrovirus Nuclear transfers Artificial chromosomes for gene transfer PRODUCTION OF TRANSGENIC ANIMALS THE METHODOLOGY. A Gene requires certain cellular mechanism to help for the production of protein.
