Transgenic animals mice ppt. Tionship of mice to humans are additional advantages. The main principle in the production of transgenic animals is the introduction of a foreign gene or genes into an animal (the inserted genes are called transgenes).the foreign genes must be transmitted through the germ line, so that every cell, including germ cells, of the animal contains the same modified genetic material 18. In this example, chimeric mice are bred with c57bl/6 animals.

The production of transgenic animals has focused mainly on producing models (e.g., the mouse) for basic and medical research. Transgenic animals for what reason? Sheep, goats, pigs, cows, rabbits, rats, mice, fish, insects, parasites and even humans have previously been used in this modification process.

Theoretically, all living beings can be genetically manipulated. At first, the level of scientific inquiry was driven by the need to establish the model. The general approach is to inactivate, or knock out, the gene of interest and then ask what defect this causes.

Normal mice cannot be infected with polio virus. Of pseudopregnant female mice for the production of chimeric mice. Transgenic animals are those that have been genetically modified.

• retroviral contamination of the transgenic animal transgenesis in mice retroviral vector. The transgenic fish are being promoted as the first marketable transgenic animals for human consumption. There also exist transgenic rats, sheep, rabbits, pigs, cow, and fish.

Transgenic animals is the property of its rightful owner. Such animals are most commonly created by the microinjection of dna into the pronuclei of a fertilised egg which is subsequently implanted into the oviduct of a pseudopregnant surrogate mother. These are animals that have had their dna manipulated to express an additional (foreign) gene.
