Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Animal cloning techniques have enabled gene disruption in several species. Here, we report the first successful disruption of the alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase (alpha1,3-GT) gene in cattle. METHODS: The alpha1,3-GT gene of the Japanese Black cow (JBC) was used to construct pGT-6, a targeting vector for the bovine alpha1,3-GT gene, and pGT-6 was introduced into the fetal fibroblast cell line JBC906 by...
