In 9 of 10 lines of transgenic mice obtained, based on analysis of structure and expression of the transgene, accurate extrachromosomal homologous recombination (ECR) between the two overlapping DNA fragments was found. Different levels of CAT activity were detected in milk from these lines. The highest CAT activity was about 25-50μg/mL milk. In some mice. CAT activity was found in salvia gland, thymus and spleen extracts. The high frequency and accuracy of ECR reported here will be applicable in the experimental manipulation for generation of relatively large transgene.展开更多
