초록

MT-GHR(Growth hormone receptor)와 MT-IGF-IR(IGF-1 receptor)유전자를 구축하고 micromani-pulator를 이용하여 토끼 수정란에 유전자를 주입하여 형질전환토끼를 생산하였다. 본 연구에서의 형질전환토끼의 생산효율은 약 3%를 나타내었고 Growth Hormone receptor(GHR)를 가진 형질전환 토끼와 IGF-1 receptor(IGF-lR)를 가진 형질전환토끼를 10마리 이상씩 생산하였다. 또한 정상 토끼와 교배시켜 F$_1$ 새끼를 얻어 유전자가 다음세대에도 전달되는 것을 확인하였다. GHR 이나 IGF-1R 형질전환토끼의 성장률은 정상토끼보다는 약15~25% 정도 빠른 경향을 나타냈고 특히 GHR 형질전환토끼의 성장률이 더 높은 것으로 드러나 GHR 및 IGF-lR유전자가 형질전환토끼에서 성장에 영향을 주었다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Transgenic rabbits were produced by DNA microinjection using growth hormone receptor (GHR) and IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) genes fused to metallothionein(MT) promoter. The overall efficiencies for production of transgenic rabbits were 3.2% and 3.1% for GHR and IGF-lR genes, respectively. Founder rabbits transmitted transgenes to their progenies through medelian fashion. Growth rate of GHR and IGF-lR transgenic rabbits was significantly faster than that of non-transgenic rabbits. Transgenic rabbits grew large. (25% and 15% increase in body weight of GHR and IGF-lR transgenic rabbits, respectively) than non-transgenic rabbits and organ weight of transgenic rabbits increased, suggesting that GHR and IGF-1R genes affects growth rates in transgenic rabbits.
