Growth and Tissue Accretion Rates of Swine Expressing an Insulin-like Growth Factor I Transgene
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
The goal of this research was to determine whether directing expression of an insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) transgene specifically to striated muscle would alter the growth characteristics in swine. Transgenic pigs were produced with a fusion gene composed of avian skeletal alpha-actin regulatory sequences and a cDNA encoding human IGF-I. Six founder transgenic pigs were mated to nontransgenic pigs to...
