What’s transgenic ?

• Narrow Definition : Artifacial insertion of DNA fragment into genome

• Broad Definition : Artifacial modification of genome, including insertion, mutation and deletion

Importance of Transgenic Technology

Basic Research • Gene regulation , promoter function• Gene expression tracing ( Knockout , Gene Tra

p )• Cell tracing , tumor cell labeling• Functional study , embryonic, developmental and pathological

Commercial • Protein product• Low cost• Disease model• Organ donor• Strain improvement• Gene Therapy

Common Techniques Used for Making Transgenic animals

• Most Comkon : Pronuclei DNA injection , random insertion , low predictability , variable

• Sperm associated DNA transduction , low repetibility

• Transposons, not common• Viral infection : High efficiency , less ran

dom , limited DNA size , safety consern• Embryonic stem cell / Blastocyst microinject

ion : Gene targeting, only for mice• Nuclear transpalntation/animal cloning / onl

y way to generate targeted modification. High cost and low efficiency

Discussion• 有限的启动子信息,不完全的启动子,造成基因不表达或表达于错误的组织• DNA 插入的随机性,多拷贝性,不表达,低表达,鼠系间差异• 转基因受插入位点的影响及封闭区 (insulaters) 序列的发现• 基因高表达可能造成的毒性,得不到转基因鼠或只有不表达的转基因鼠系 (founder

s)• 第一个内含子的重要性• 转基因片段的大小:

– 2kb 到 mb – 大部分 2-10kb, 容易注射– P1 质粒 (PAC),70kb 左右,黏度大– 细菌人工染色体 BAC , 120kb 左右, 黏度更大– 酵母人工染色体 YAC , 500kb-1mb 大小,非常难

• 同时注射两个以上的转基因:效率高,一般插入同一位点

• 多拷贝插入方式:头尾相接• 拷贝数与表达水平之间的关系:表达水平与拷贝数无紧密关联,多数拷贝被甲基化

及有限的转录因子浓度• 影响转基因成功与否的其它因素: DNA 的浓度 (2-3ng/ul), 纯度,如嗅化乙锭和 E

DTA 含量等• 载体 DNA 对转基因表达的影响:不稳定 • C57/BL6 纯系转基因鼠受精卵注射

Importance of Gene Targeting

• Gene function study : Gene knockout is first choice to identify function for genes predicted from whole genome sequencing

• Gene Regulation : More accurate control, more confirmative results, better disease models

• Due to the stability and predictability, better for protein production or human gene replacement

• Major progress in Gene Therapy and Regeneration Medicine

Chimera Mating

(agouti) – C57 / BL6 blastocyst (black) – ES , coat color can tell how much ES

get integrated– 40-100% male chimera mate with C57/B

L6 female • 6 week old chimera male with two C57 /

BL6 female, female changed every week.• Look for brown mice
