Abstract
A method for preparing transgenic pigs is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining a recently fertilized pig ovum; isolating a first DNA sequence encoding a suitable promoter region; inserting the first DNA sequence into a plasmid cloning vector; isolating a second DNA sequence encoding a porcine growth hormone gene; inserting the second DNA sequence into the plasmid cloning vector; introducing the plasmid cloning vector into the male pronucleus; and, subsequently implanting the ovum into a female pig.
