Utilization of Primordial Germ Cell(PGC) as Transferor of Avian Genetic Materials

가금의 유전물질전달체로서의 원시생식세포의 이용

Utilizatin of primordial germ cell(PGC) as transferor of genetic materials is great potential in manipulating genes to promote genetic performances in chicken. This study explored that PGCs from early embryos as vehicle for molecular breeding strategles were isolated, these chromosomally marked donor PGCs were transplanted to germinal crescent of host embryos, and genetic materials of donor PGC were identified at the proliferative stage in host gonads.
