Transgenic animal
• A transgenic animal is one that carries a foreign
gene that has been deliberately inserted into its
genome.
• The first transgenic animal
were mice created by
Rudolf Jaenisch in 1974.
Production of transgenic animals
Microinjection Method
Applications
• To Study Normal Physiology And
Development
• To Study Diseases
• To Obtain Biological Product
• Vaccine Safety
• To Test Chemical Toxicity
Conclusion
• Many Transgenic animal have been successfully
created for a variety of purposes and prospect
are enormous
• With proper research and careful use the
transgenic animals can go along way in solving
problems
for which science does not have a solution till now.
