SOME ASPECTS IN THE USE OF TRANSGENIC TECHNOLOGIES FOR FARM ANIMALS BREEDING

L.K. Ernst¹, N.A. Volkova², N.A. Zinov’eva²

The authors discussed the use of transgenic technologies for obtaining of agricultural ani-mals — the producers of recombinant proteins, applied in veterinary science and medicine, the do-nors of internal organs for transplantation to mans, the individuals genetic resistant to infectious diseases or with modified economically valued determinants. The own data are presented on the transfer of recombinant DNA to hen embryos and testicles of agricultural animals in vivo. The features of the phenotype of pigs, transgenic on human gene of the growth hormone-releasing factor, were described.

Key words: cell engineering, transgenesis, retrovirus vectors, transgenic animals, growth hormone relising-factor.
