  • Human lactoferrin (hLF) is an 80 kDa iron-binding glycoprotein that is expressed in high concentration in milk and in lesser amount in the secondary or specific granules of neutrophils and in plasma, LF is classically considered to be related to the binding, transport, and storage of iron. The transgenic mice carrying the human hLF gene in conjunction with the bovine $\beta$-casein promoter produced the human hLF in their milk during lactation. To screen transgenic mice, PCR was carried out using chromosomal DNA extracted from tail or toe tissues. In this study, stability of germ line transmission and expression of hLF were monitored up to generation Fl7 of a transgenic line. When female mouse of generation F9 was crossbred with normal male, generation F9 to Fl7 mice showed similar transmission rates ($66.0 \pm 12.57%, 42.0 \pm 14.98%, 72.2 \pm 25.45%, 50.0 \pm 16.70%, 65.7 \pm 6.45%, 48.6 \pm 14.65%, 54 1 \pm 18 11%, 57.8 \pm 16.16% and 48.6 \pm 20.66$, respectively), implying that the hLF gene can be transmitted stably up to long term generation in the transgenic mice For ELISA analysis, hLF expression levels were determined with an hLF ELISA kit in accordance with the supplier's protocol. Expression levels of human hLF from milk of generation F9 to Fl3 mice were $ 3.2 \pm 0.69 mg/ml, 3.1 \pm 0.81 mg/ml, 4.6 \pm 1.38 mg/ml, 3.1 \pm 0.42 mg/ml, and 4.5 \pm 1,48 mg/ml$, respectively. These expression levels were lower than that of founder (6.6 mg/$m\ell$) mouse. We concluded that transgenic mice faithfully passed the transgene on their progeny and successively secreted target proteins into their milk through several generations.

  • Transgenic rats and mice are useful experimental animal models for medical research including human disease model studies. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technology is successfully applied in most mammalian species including cattle, sheep, pig and mouse. SCNT is also considered to increase the efficacy of transgenic/knockout mouse and rat production. However, in the area of reproductive biotechnology, the rodent model is inadequate because of technical obstacles in manipulating the oocytes including intracytoplasmic sperm injection and SCNT. In particular, success of rat SCNT is very limited so far. In this review, the history of rodent cloning is described.

  • The human growth hormone (hGH) gene uder the control of the rat $\beta$-casein promoter gene was designed to produce transgenic mouse expressed hGH gene in only mammary gland. One hundred seventy two eggs microinjected were transferred to the oviducts of pseudopregnants and 43 offspring were delivered. By Southern blotting hybridization, 3 were transgenic with rat $\beta$-casein/hGH gene. The copy numbers of three transgenic founder were 1, 5, and 15, respectively. A radioimmunoassay was developed to quantitate the amount of expression of the hGH gene in mammary gland of transgenic mice. The amount of hGH was 13.3ng/ml in the lactating milk of one transgenic line, showing predominantly higher than 3.0ng/ml in milk of control mice. Therefore, our findings suggested that $\beta$-casein promoter may induce the tissue specific expression of structural gene.

  • 랩틴은 지방세포의 비만유전자에서 분비되는 포식인자로써 음식섭취, 에너지대사, 체중, 번식생리 및 신경호르몬 분비를 조절하는 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 antisense 비만유전자를 발현하는 형질전환 생쥐를 생산하기 위하여 실시하였다. 먼저 랩틴을 분비하는 지방세포에서 RNA 를 추출한 후 역전사 PCR을 실시하여 303 bp의 anti I과 635 bp의 anti II cDNA 들을 합성하였다. 이러한 cDNA 들을 지방세포 특이적 발현 프로모터인 aP2 프로모터와 SV40 poly(A) 사이에 역방향으로 결합하여 미세주입용 유전자를 구축하였다. 생쥐의 수정란전핵에 antisense 비만유전자를 미세 주입하여 14 마리의 형질전환 생쥐를 생산하였으며, anti I 을 지닌 4 마리의 형질전환 생쥐와 anti II를 지닌 5마리의 형질전환 생쥐계통을 확립하였다. 그리고 형질전환 생쥐의 지방세포를 추출하여 RT -PCR을 실시한 결과 antisense 비만유전자 mRNA발현을 확인하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 생산된 형질전환생쥐는 생체 랩틴저하에 의해 비만을 일으키는 질환모텔동물로써의 사용가능성을 나타내었다.

  • The transgenic mice were produced by microinjection of human growth hormone gene fused with mouse metallothionein Ⅰ promoter. They were mated with momal mice by backcross or brother-sister mating. The reproduction efficiencies of female and male n the FO transgenic mice were 17.6%(3/17 mice) and 31.2%(5/16 mice), respectively, and were very lower than that in normal mice(85.7% and 100%, respectively). Interestingly, a few of female transgenic mice were fertile which was different from the previous reports. Of 6 fertile transgenic mice, 2 mice were identified as mosaic type by the reduced frequency of genetic transmission to successive generation below Mendelian levle and the enhanced copy numbers of transgene in progeny mice compared with the transgenic parent. In the group of F1, F2, F3 transgenic mice the reproduction efficiencies of males were gradually improved, whereas females were absolutely infertile. It was consequently shown that the transgenic mice expressing human growth hormone gene were frequently infertile, but the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of the fertile transgenic mice were normally passed on to the progeny through herm line. Therefore it must be considered wheter or not the products of foreign DNA introduced into animals will detrimentally affect their physiological aspects.

  • Collagen has been widely studied for medical applications. Previous studies have shown that the bovine β-casein promoter were able to drive cell-specific and hormone-dependent expression to a mouse mammary cell line but failed to induce accurate expression to the mammary gland. of transgenic mice.
