Abstract:
PURPOSE: A GFP(Green Fluorescent Protein)-transfected clone pig, a GT(alpha 1, 3 galactrosyltransferase) knock-out clone pig and a production method thereof are provided to produce a clone pig with a determined genetic character using transfection and targeting technologies. CONSTITUTION: The production method of the GFP-transfected clone pig comprises the steps of: preparing a cell line taken and cultured from a pig as a nucleus donating cell; introducing the GFP clone to the nucleus donating cell and expressing by forming a lipid(or a positive charge polymer)-DNA structure complex, adding the complex to the nucleus donating cell culture solution and culturing; producing a transfected embryo by transplanting the cell to an enucleated pig embryo and activating; and producing a piglet by transplanting the embryo to a surrogate mother.
