Abstract
One-cell ova were recovered from superovulated rabbit and pig donors. For microinjection a DNA fragment consisting of the structural gene of the human growth hormone and the promotor region of the mouse methallothionein gene was used.
After transfer of injected eggs 37 (9.6 %) offspring were born in rabbits and 15 (3.4 %) in pigs. 5 rabbits and 1 piglet were found to be transgenic by dot hybridisation and Southern blotting.
