Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Transgenic mice were produced using the GFP coding sequence, ligated with the chicken beta-actin promoter. Green fluorescence was observed in muscle, pancreas, kidney, heart and other organs in all the three transgenic mouse lines.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transgenic sheep and goats have been produced that express foreign proteins in their milk. Transgenic chickens are now able to synthesize human proteins in the “white” of their eggs. These animals should eventually prove to be valuable sources of proteins for human therapy.
