title: [The mobile vector method for genetic transformation of animals].
abstract: Experimental data on transgenic animal production using transfected sperm are reviewed. Pathways for further improvement of the method for increasing the frequency of transgenic organisms are proposed: modification of the saccharophosphate skeleton and DNA ends; use of nucleic exchange enzymes and directed oligonucleotides; use of adhesive sequences (MAR elements), ori replication, and transposable elements within the transgenes; development of the embryos selection; the use of gene targeting elements; and the use of various DNA conformations. The promising use of spermatozoa as a noninvasive system of gene delivery in transgenesis and prenatal gene therapy are outlined.
