11 These and chronic models for the evaluation of transgenic animals can express HIV-1 proteins.

Transgenic animals applications ppt. Typical agricultural application include improved carcass composition lactation. This project details transgenic animal technology applications ethics and legalities as an example of technologys impact on society. Applications of Transgenic Animals in Biotechnology-.

4 and in 1980s the transgenic mice is produced using the most popular microinjection technique 5. Transgenic animals have given great benefit to the field of biotechnology especially the fields of agriculture. 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.

The transgenic animals are genetically engineered and are also known as genetically modified organisms. By DAMARIS BENNY DANIEL II Msc. Transgenic animals can be used as disease models transpharmers xenotransplanters food sources and other biological models.

DNA Technology Biotechnology The use or alteration of cells or biological molecules for specific applications Transgenics Transgenic changed genes Recombinant DNA DNA from different species mixed together Natural or man-made Whole organisms or cells Possible because the genetic code is universal All life uses the same genetic code ATGC Amplifying DNA Need. Transgenic animals that produce useful biological products can be created by the introduction of the portion of DNA or genes which codes for a particular product such as human protein a-1-antitrypsin used to treat emphysema tissue plasmogen activator goat blood clotting factors VIII and IX sheep and lactoferrin cow. A transgenic animal is one that carries a foreign gene that has been deliberately inserted into its genome.

Animal egg stage is also developed19 There are Since than many models have developed other models like beta receptor knockout mouse Rosenstiel et al gives summary of 32 transgenic uncoupling protein UCP1 knockout mouseacute murine HIVAN models developed. Foreign genes are inserted into the germ line of the animal so it can be transmitted to the progeny. Recombinant DNA technology is the ability to combine DNA molecules from different sources into the one molecule.

Thus the abilities or the phenotype of the organism or the. 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.
