Abstract excerpt
The transgenic experiment is a useful tool for the study of cell type-specific expression of genes during embryogenesis. We constructed a minigene, mg-Tyrs-J, by fusing a tyrosinase cDNA, Tyrs-J, with the 5' upstream region of genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) clone, G3L, and microinjected this minigene into fertilized eggs from albino BALB/c mice. It was expected that a melanin pigment would be produced and...
