[A study of transgenic IFV cattle integrated with human serum albumin gene].
The mammary gland expression vector (pcDNA 3.1-GCALBm) containing the full-length sequence of human serum albumin (hALB) cDNA and intron 1 as well as the goat beta-casien gene promoter and 5' up-stream regulatory sequence was constructed. The vector was micro-injected into bovine IVF eggs. The embryos were in vitro cultured to the late stage of morulae, and then few embryo cells were aspirated for the implantation detection of target gene integration and SRY DNA sequence using nested-PCR. Afterwards, ten integrated embryos were selected to transfer into eight recipients and three were pregnant. The pregnant rate was 37.5%(3/8). However, two were miscarried in mid-trimester but one was pregnant at term to deliver a male transgenic cattle integrated with hALB mini-gene. The transgenic efficiency was 12.5% (1/8).
