Abstract

The construction of transgenic mouse using embryonic stem (ES) cells has been crucial in the functional studies of gene on mouse genome. Gene knockout mice have been powerful for elucidating the function of genes as well as a research model for human diseases. Gene targeting and gene trapping mathods have been the representative technologies for making the knockout mice by using ES cells. Since the gene targeting and the gene trapping methods were independently developed about 20 years ago, it's efficiency and productivity has been improved with a advance of molecular biology. Conventional gene targeting method has been changes to high throughput conditional gene targeting. The combination of the advantage of gene targeting and gene tapping elements allows to extend a spectrum of gene trapping and to improve the efficiency of gene targeting. These advance should be able to produce the mutant with various phenotype to target a certain gene, and in postgenome era they have served as crucial research tools in understanding the functional study of whole genome in mouse.

배아줄기세포를 이용한 형질전환동물의 제조는 유전자의 기능 연구에 필수적이다. 특히 유전자 파괴 생쥐는 유전자의 기능 연구뿐만 아니라 사람 질병 연구에 중요한 모델이 되어 왔다. 유전자 적중법(gene targeting)과 유전자 함정법(gene trapping)은 ES 세포에서 녹아웃(knockout) 생쥐를 제조하는 대표적인 방법이다. 20여 년 전 유전자 적중법과 함정법이 최초로 개발된 이후에 이 기술은 많은 변화를 거쳤다. 특히 상동재조합에 기초한 전통적 유전자 적중법은 대량 제조기반의 조건부 유전자 적중법의 개발로 이어졌고, 유전자 적중법 및 유전자 함정법의 장점 요소의 조합은 유전자를 파괴하는 범위를 넓혔고, 유전자 적중을 더욱 효율적으로 만들었다. 이런 기술은 특정 유전자를 표적으로 하는 다양한 종류의 돌연변이 형질전환동물을 제조할 수 있게 하여 포스트게놈 시대에 요구되는 전체 유전체의 기능 연구를 더욱 효과적으로 진행시켜 줄 것이다.
