Transgenic Animals Applications Ppt

Transgenic farm animals are important in human medicine as a source of biologically active proteins as donors in xenotransplanta- tion and for a research in cell and gene therapy.

Transgenic animals applications ppt. The creations of many transgenic animals were subsequently reported in 1985s 6. A transgenic animal is one that carries a foreign gene that has been deliberately inserted into its genome. Several different fish spe-cies including channel catfish common carp goldfish Japanese medaka loach northern pike rainbow trout salmon tilapia walleye and zebrafish for review.

Applications of Transgenic Animals in Biotechnology-. Typical agricultural application include improved carcass composition lactation. The transgenic fish are being promoted as the first marketable transgenic animals for human consumption.

Transgenic animals 1. Ful in generating transgenic animals but may have applications as transient gene-expression systems 15. The first genetically modified organism was a bacteria created in 1973 by Stanley N.

Using transgenic mice as test systems eg protein CFTR secretion. 356 have been used as experimental animals for production of transgenic fish. This would enable not only the addition of gene constructs but.

The first genetically modified organism was engineered in the year 1980. One of the most exciting prospects for the genetic manipulation of chickens is the potential development of an embryonic stem ES-cell system. Transgenic Animals Synthetic modified or other foreign genes can be introduced into animals and plants and the resulting transgenic organisms can be used to study the function of the genes for example by insertional mutagenesis to produce novel products or to serve as animal models for studies of inherited human diseases.

Foreign genes are inserted into the germ line of the animal so it can be transmitted to the progeny. Applications Transgenic models for Alzheimer disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Huntington disease arthritis muscular dystrophy tumorigenesis hypertension neurodegenerative disorders endocrinological dysfunction coronary disease etc. These bacteria contained genetic information from a variety of different species.
