Title:Methods comprising apoptosis inhibitors for the generation of transgenic pigs
Inventors:Piedrahita, Jorge A.; College Station, TX
Bazer, Fuller W.; College Station, TX
Summary:This invention describes an improved method of growing porcine primordial germ cells from a porcine embryo. The cells are maintained on a matrix in which the high density of the feeder cells in the culture medium, in combination with a fibroblast growth factor and an apoptosis inhibitor, yield a high rate of efficiency at which the homologous recombination and transgenic production are obtained.
Abstract:Disclosed are methods for the isolation of primordial germ cells, culturing these cells to produce primordial germ cell-derived cell lines, methods for transforming both the primordial germ cells and the cultured cell lines, and using these transformed cells and cell lines to generate transgenic animals. The efficiency at which transgenic animals are generated by the present invention is greatly increased, thereby allowing the use of homologous recombination in producing transgenic non-rodent animal species.
