Chimeric gene-fusion products can be used for medical or industrial purposes. One idea is to produce biological therapeutics for human medical use in animals from which the products can be easily harvested−in the milk of sheep or cattle, for example.
The transgene construct will include: Select the two sequences that apply.
-regulatory sequences of sheep insulin
-sequences of a specific promoter and terminator
-sequences that direct proper cell-type-specific expression
-sequences that direct secretion of insulin
-sequences of secretory molecules of that inhibit insulin synthesis
The transgene construct will include:
-Sequences of a specific promoter and terminator
-Sequences that direct secretion of insulin
Transgenesis is the process of introducing a specific gene from one organism to another. The gene of interest is called a transgene. A transgene construct normally includes the gene of interest and all the critical elements that control its expression (like promoter and terminator regions) and a selectable marker. The transgene is transferred to the host using vectors like plasmids. All the essential sequences are combined on a plasmid and introduced to the host via different techniques like Microinjection.
