  Animal Biotechnology

• 
  Слайд 2
  

  Transgenics are genetically modified organisms with DNA from another source inserted into their genome A large number of transgenic animals have been created Mice Cows Pigs Sheep Goats Fish Frogs Insects Currently, no transgenic animal or animal product is approved by the FDA or USDA for human consumption

• 
  Слайд 3
  

  Some of the goals of transgenic animal creation are: Research into animal and human disease Improve livestock animals Use of animals as bioreactors

  Transgenic Animal Creation

• 
  Слайд 5

  Microinjection into the germ line -> transgenic animal

  Gene injected into the male pronuclei

• 
  Слайд 6
  

  Eggs are infected prior to fertilization Virus integrates into one of the chromosomes Recombinant Defective Retrovirus

• 
  Слайд 7
  

  Linker Based Sperm-Mediated Gene Transfer (LB-SMGT) Sperm fertilizes the egg carrying the foreign gene into the egg where it is incorporated into the genome

• 
  Слайд 8
  

  Some of the drawbacks of these methods are: The inserted DNA randomly integrates into the genome The eggs must be harvested & fertilized in vitro More than one copy of the gene may get into the genome Transgenic Animal Generation

  Examples of Transgenic Animals

• 
  Слайд 10
  

  Transgenic Cattle                                                          Dairy cows carrying extra copies of two types of casein genes produce 13% more milk protein Not only will this make the milk more nutritious, it would allow for less milk to make more cheese Currently the milk from these animals is under FDA review The important difference between this & other transgenics is that the DNA added is not foreign

  Слайд 11
  

  EnviroPig TM Transgenic pigs express phytase in their salivary glands Phytic acid in the pig meal is degraded releasing phosphorus The phosphorus is absorbed by the pig Normally the phytic acid/phosphorus complex passes through the pig and is excreted as waste Pig waste is a major pollutant & can cause eutrophication of lakes & streams http://www.nature.com/news/2005/050221/images/nbt0305-283-I1.jpg

  Слайд 12
  

  Transgenic Fish Tilapia Salmon/trout Catfish Can grow up to 6 times faster than wildtype fish Most have extra copies of growth hormone (GH) gene Transgenic Wildtype http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v19/n6/images/nbt0601_500a_I1.jpg

• 
  Слайд 13
  

  The transgene used to increase growth utilizes an antifreeze protein promoter connected to the GH cDNA http://pubs.acs.org/hotartcl/chemtech/99/jun/fletcher.html As water temperature drops the GH gene is turned on The fish continue to grow when normally they would not Antifreeze promoter from pout

  Слайд 14
  

  Concerns if these ‘supersized’ transgenic fish got loose Transgenic fish are farm-raised, isolated from wild stocks But even during farming of wildtype fish, escapes happen frequently (~14 million/yr) What would happen if a large number of transgenic escaped & started breeding with wild fish? http://pewagbiotech.org/buzz/index.php3?IssueID=10

• 
  Слайд 15
  

  In experiments, transgenic males mated 3x more frequently than the smaller wild males Offspring of transgenic males lived

• 
  Слайд 16
  

  http://pubs.acs.org/hotartcl/chemtech/99/jun/fletcher.html +Antifreeze wild transgenic Antifreeze Proteins (AFP) AFPs lower the freezing temperature of blood & fluids Trout normally do not survive in water below –0.6°C Transgenic trout containing an AFP gene & promoter can survive in waters as cold as –1.2°C

  http://nolswf.bbc.net.uk/science/genes/gene_safari/pharm/a_pharming.shtml 1997, Tracy the sheep, the first transgenic animal to produce a recombinant protein drug in her milk alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) treatment for emphysema & cystic fibrosis Created by PPL Therapeutics & The Roslin Institute

• 
  Слайд 19
  

  Webster and Peter Nexia Biotechnologies transfered the silk gene from Orb spiders into goats The resulting male goats were used to sire silk-producing female goats Each goat produces several grams of silk protein in her milk The silk is extracted, dried to a white powder, and spun into fibers The fibers are stronger and more flexible than steel Transgenic male kids carrying silk gene

  Слайд 20
  

  GTC Biotherapeutics has received approval to sell human anti-thrombin (ATryn) purified from goat’s milk in Europe Technology is not restricted to cows, goats, & sheep There is interest in using rabbits since housing costs are significantly less & generation time is faster Chickens which produce recombinant drugs in their eggs have been produced by The Roslin Institute

  GloFish, originally developed in Singapore as a way to monitor water pollution The normally black-and-silver zebrafish was turned green or red by inserting various versions of the GFP gene Glofish are on sale throughout the US except in California Glofish retail for about $5 per fish. Normal zebrafish cost around one tenth of the price http://www.nus.edu.sg/corporate/research/gallery/research12.htm

  Mouse “Knock-out” Technology Gene Targeting

• 
  Слайд 28
  

  Knock-out technology allows for the specific loss of a gene in mice Allows for the function of the KO’d gene to be deduced from the defects seen in the mice can be used to mimick some disease Unlike traditional transgenics the trangene is targeted to a specific site in the DNA of the mouse

• 
  Слайд 29
  

  http://cba.musc.edu/SC_COBRE/CORE-B/Resources-B.htm Mouse Knock-outs require embryonic stem (ES) cells These are derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of a blastocyst (the ICM is what will become the fetus) ES cells are pluripotent meaning they can become all the different cell types found in an adult

  In addition to cloning pets or prized livestock, researchers are looking to clone transgenic animals This would allow for more uniform expression of transgenic genes Not all transgenic animals express their transgenic genes at equal levels Also allows for the rapid expansion to large flocks or herds of transgenic animals

  http://www.newrivervalley.com/biotech/day1.html Piglets clones created by PPL Therapeutics in 2000 The piglets carry a silenced copy of alpha 1,3 galactosyl transferase, or GT, an enzyme involved in organ rejection In order to guarantee compatibility a second GT gene must also be silenced

  3 Pig clones, born in 2002, died of heart attacks due to “adult clone sudden death syndrome” within days of each other by the time they were 6 months old. Dolly had a weight problem, telomeres 20% shorter than normal, she suffered from arthritis, and finally lung cancer due to an infection for which she was finally euthanized at age 6yrs. The success rate ranges from 1 to 3% this contrasts to in vitro fertilization which has a success rate of 50 to 20% Problems with Cloning
