Abstract

Catholic University of Daegu School Medicine, 705-718, KoreaABSTRACT This study was performed to analyze the generational transmission and the expression of the foreign gene in the GFP transgenic chickens. The transmission rate and the expression of the GFP gene was investigated from the GFP transgenic rooster (G2) as the first founder to the ninth (G8). Analysis of GFP expression in hatched chickens was used the UV lamp. When GFP was expressed in the wings, bill and legs of a chick, the bird only was selected as a transgenic chick. The average transmission rate of the overall transgenic was 3858%. These results showed that the transmission of the GFP gene in the transgenic chickens in accordance with the laws of Mendel's continues to the next generation without gene silencing.(Key words : chicken, GFP, gene transmission)
