Transgenic Animals Applications Ppt

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.

Transgenic animals applications ppt. Methodology and Applications - Chapter 21-Transgenic Animals. 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. Transgenesis is the process by which mixing up of genes takes place.

These bacteria contained genetic information from a variety of different species. Transgenic animals can be used as disease models transpharmers xenotransplanters food sources and other biological models. Industry and medicine have taken advantage of these animals a lot.

We can say that medicine is one field which has took benefit of transgenic animals most. Cohen and Herbert Boyer. The transgenic animals are genetically engineered and are also known as genetically modified organisms.

Transgenic animals ie engineered to carry genes from other species have the potential to improve human welfare. Transgenic animals was started using sperm mediated gene transfer. Transgenic animals have given great benefit to the field of biotechnology especially the fields of agriculture.

4 and in 1980s the transgenic mice is produced using the most popular microinjection technique 5. Methods for Creating Transgenic. The transgenic fish are being promoted as the first marketable transgenic animals for human consumption.

Using transgenic mice as test systems eg protein CFTR secretion. This would enable not only the addition of gene constructs but. One of them is the ability to engineer transgenic animals.
