INTRODUCTION
• A TRANSGENIC ANIMAL IS ONE THAT CARRIES A FOREIGN
GENE THAT HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY INSERTED INTO ITS
GENOME.
• TRANSGENESIS IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH MIXING UP OF
GENES TAKES PLACE.
• FOREIGN GENES ARE INSERTED INTO THE GERM LINE OF THE
ANIMAL, SO IT CAN BE TRANSMITTED TO THE PROGENY.
• TRANSGENIC TECHNOLOGY HAS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT
OF FISHES, LIVE STOCK AND OTHER ANIMALS WITH ALTERED
GENETIC PROFILES WHICH ARE USEFUL TO MANKIND.
• FIRST TRANSGENIC ANIMAL WAS A ‘SUPERMOUSE’ CREATED BY RALPH BRINSTER
(U PENNSYLVANIA) AND RICHARD PALMITER (UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON) IN
1982.
• IT WAS CREATED BY INSERTING A HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE GENE IN MOUSE
GENOME.
• THE OFFSPRING WAS MUCH LARGER THAN THE PARENTS.
• MOUSE – COMMON TRANSGENIC EXPT.
• OTHER ANIMALS INCLUDE PIG, GOAT, COW, SHEEP, FISH ETC.
PRODUCTION OF TRANSGENIC ANIMALS
– THE METHADOLOGY
• STEP 1 – CONSTRUCTION OF A TRANSGENE
• TRANSGENE MADE OF 3 PARTS:
• PROMOTER
• GENE TO BE EXPRESSED
• TERMINATION SEQUENCE
• STEP 2 – INTRODUCTION OF FOREIGN GENE INTO THE ANIMAL
• PRONUCLEAR MICROINJECTION METHOD
• EMBRYONIC STEM CELL METHOD.
MICROINJECTION METHOD
• A FEMALE ANIMAL IS SUPER OVULATED AND EGGS ARE COLLECTED.
• THE EGGS ARE FERTILIZED IN VITRO.
• THE TRANSGENE CONTAINING SOLUTION
IS INJECTED INTO THE MALE PRONUCLEUS
USING A MICROPIPETTE.
• EGGS WITH THE TRANSGENES ARE KEPT OVERNIGHT IN AN INCUBATOR
TO DEVELOP TO A 2 CELL STAGE.
• THE EGGS ARE THEN IMPLANTED INTO THE UTERUS OF A PSEUDO -
PREGNANT FEMALE (FEMALE WHICH HAS BEEN MATED WITH A
VASECTOMIZED MALE THE PREVIOUS NIGHT)
EMBRYONIC STEM CELL METHOD
• TRANSGENIC ANIMALS CAN BE CREATED BY MANIPULATING EMBRYONIC
STEM CELLS.
• ES CELLS ARE OBTAINED FROM THE INNER CELL MASS OF A BLASTOCYST.
• TRANSGENE IS INCORPORATED INTO THE ES CELL BY
• MICROINJECTION
• BY A RETRO VIRUS
• BY ELECTROPORATION
• TRANSGENIC STEM CELLS ARE GROWN IN VITRO.
• THEN THEY ARE INSERTED INTO A BLASTOCYST AND IMPLANTED INTO A
HOST’S UTERUS TO GROW NORMALLY.
PROBLEMS
• MULTIPLE INSERTION – TOO MUCH PROTEINS
• INSERTION INTO AN ESSENTIAL GENE – LETHALITY
• INSERTION INTO A GENE LEADING TO GENE SILENCING
• INSERTION INTO A DIFFERENT AREA CAN AFFECT THE
GENE REGULATION
TRANSGENIC FISH
• SUPERFISH
• INCREASED GROWTH AND SIZE
• GROWTH HORMONE GENE INSERTED INTO
FERTILIZED EGG.
• TRANSGENIC SALMON GROWS ABOUT 10 – 11
TIMES FASTER THAN NORMAL FISH.
• GLO FISH
• GM FRESHWATER ZEBRA FISH PRODUCE BY
INTEGRATING A FLUORESCENT PROTEIN GENE
FROM JELLY FISH INTO EMBRYO OF FISH.
TRANSGENIC LIVESTOCK
• BIOREACTORS WHOSE CELLS HAVE BEEN ENGINEERED TO SYNTHESIS
MARKETABLE PROTEINS.
• MORE ECONOMICAL THAN PRODUCING DESIRED PROTEIN IN CELL
CULTURE.
• TRANSGENIC CATTLE
• TRANSGENIC COWS ARE MADE TO PRODUCE PROTEINS LACTOFERRIN
AND INTERFERONS IN THEIR MILK.
• PRION FREE COWS RESISTANT TO MAD COW DISEASE.
• TRANSGENIC SHEEP
• FOR GOOD QUALITY WOOL PRODUCTION.
• TRANSGENIC GOAT
• GOATS THAT COULD EXPRESS TISSUE PLASMINOGEN
ACTIVATOR, ANTI THROMBIN III, SPIDER SILK ETC IN MILK.
TRANSGENIC RABBIT
• ALBA, THE EGFP (ENHANCED GREEN FLUORESCENT
PROTEIN) BUNNY
• CREATED IN 2000 AS A TRANSGENIC ARTWORK.
• ANDI WAS THE FIRST TRANSGENIC MONKEY, BORN IN 2000.
• “ANDI” STANDS FOR “INSERTED DNA” SPELLED
BACKWARDS.
• AN ENGINEERED VIRUS WAS USED TO INSERT THE
HARMLESS GENE FOR GREEN FLUORESCENCE PROTEIN
(GFP) INTO ANDI’S RHESUS GENOME.
• ANDI PROVES THAT TRANSGENIC PRIMATES CAN BE
CREATED, AND CAN EXPRESS A FOREIGN GENE DELIVERED
INTO THEIR GENOME.
IMPORTANCE OF TRANSGENIC ANIMALS
• MEDICAL IMPORTANCE
• DISEASE MODEL
• BIOREACTORS FOR PHARMACEUTICALS
• XENOTRANSPLANTATION
• AGRICULTURAL IMPORTANCE
• DISEASE RESISTANT ANIMALS
• FOR IMPROVING QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF MILK, MEAT, EGGS AND WOOL PRODUCTION
• INDUSTRIAL IMPORTANCE
• TOXICITY SENSITIVE TRANSGENIC ANIMALS TO TEST CHEMICALS.
• SPIDER SILK IN MILK OF GOAT
ISSUES RELATED TO TRANSGENIC
TECHNOLOGY
• BLURRING THE LINES BETWEEN SPECIES BY CREATING
TRANSGENIC COMBINATIONS.
• THERE MAY BE HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSGENICS.
• THERE MAY BE LONG TERM EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT WHEN
TRANSGENIC ANIMALS ARE RELEASED INTO THE FIELD.
• VARIOUS BIOETHICIST ARGUE THAT IT IS WRONG TO CREATE
ANIMALS THAT WOULD SUFFER AS A RESULT OF GENETIC
ALTERATION.
CONCLUSION
• TRANSGENIC TECHNOLOGY IS A FIELD THAT IS UNDER CONSTANT
EVOLUTION.
• MANY TRANSGENIC ANIMALS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CREATED
FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES, AND THE PROSPECTS ARE
ENORMOUS.
• IT HOLDS GREAT POTENTIAL IN MANY FIELDS INCLUDING
AGRICULTURE, MEDICINE AND INDUSTRY.
• WITH PROPER RESEARCH AND CAREFUL USE THE TRANSGENIC
ANIMALS CAN GO A LONG WAY IN SOLVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS
FOR WHICH SCIENCE DOESN’T HAVE A SOLUTION TILL NOW.

TRANSGENIC LIVESTOCK • BIOREACTORS WHOSE CELLS HAVE BEEN ENGINEERED TO SYNTHESIS MARKETABLE PROTEINS. • MORE ECONOMICAL THAN PRODUCING DESIRED PROTEIN IN CELL CULTURE. • TRANSGENIC CATTLE • TRANSGENIC COWS ARE MADE TO PRODUCE PROTEINS LACTOFERRIN AND INTERFERONS IN THEIR MILK. • PRION FREE COWS RESISTANT TO MAD COW DISEASE. • TRANSGENIC SHEEP • FOR GOOD QUALITY WOOL PRODUCTION. • TRANSGENIC GOAT • GOATS THAT COULD EXPRESS TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR, ANTI THROMBIN III, SPIDER SILK ETC IN MILK.
  • 12. TRANSGENIC RABBIT • ALBA, THE EGFP (ENHANCED GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN) BUNNY • CREATED IN 2000 AS A TRANSGENIC ARTWORK. • ANDI WAS THE FIRST TRANSGENIC MONKEY, BORN IN 2000. • “ANDI” STANDS FOR “INSERTED DNA” SPELLED BACKWARDS. • AN ENGINEERED VIRUS WAS USED TO INSERT THE HARMLESS GENE FOR GREEN FLUORESCENCE PROTEIN (GFP) INTO ANDI’S RHESUS GENOME. • ANDI PROVES THAT TRANSGENIC PRIMATES CAN BE CREATED, AND CAN EXPRESS A FOREIGN GENE DELIVERED INTO THEIR GENOME.
  • 13. IMPORTANCE OF TRANSGENIC ANIMALS • MEDICAL IMPORTANCE • DISEASE MODEL • BIOREACTORS FOR PHARMACEUTICALS • XENOTRANSPLANTATION • AGRICULTURAL IMPORTANCE • DISEASE RESISTANT ANIMALS • FOR IMPROVING QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF MILK, MEAT, EGGS AND WOOL PRODUCTION • INDUSTRIAL IMPORTANCE • TOXICITY SENSITIVE TRANSGENIC ANIMALS TO TEST CHEMICALS. • SPIDER SILK IN MILK OF GOAT
  • 14. ISSUES RELATED TO TRANSGENIC TECHNOLOGY • BLURRING THE LINES BETWEEN SPECIES BY CREATING TRANSGENIC COMBINATIONS. • THERE MAY BE HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSGENICS. • THERE MAY BE LONG TERM EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT WHEN TRANSGENIC ANIMALS ARE RELEASED INTO THE FIELD. • VARIOUS BIOETHICIST ARGUE THAT IT IS WRONG TO CREATE ANIMALS THAT WOULD SUFFER AS A RESULT OF GENETIC ALTERATION.
  • 15. CONCLUSION • TRANSGENIC TECHNOLOGY IS A FIELD THAT IS UNDER CONSTANT EVOLUTION. • MANY TRANSGENIC ANIMALS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CREATED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES, AND THE PROSPECTS ARE ENORMOUS. • IT HOLDS GREAT POTENTIAL IN MANY FIELDS INCLUDING AGRICULTURE, MEDICINE AND INDUSTRY. • WITH PROPER RESEARCH AND CAREFUL USE THE TRANSGENIC ANIMALS CAN GO A LONG WAY IN SOLVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS FOR WHICH SCIENCE DOESN’T HAVE A SOLUTION TILL NOW.
