Zona-free mouse eggs at the pronucleus stage were infected with a replication-defective adenovirus vector containing a nuclear-targeted lacZ gene. Exogenous beta-galactosidase activity was detected in almost all eggs at the two-cell stage. Of 27 mice that developed from infected eggs, three carried the integrated exogenous gene mediated by the adenovirus. Two of the three expressed the lacZ gene, and all three mice transmitted the adenovirus-mediated transgene to F1 progeny Southern blot analysis was consistent with single copy integration. This finding should accelerate the development of new strategies for transgenesis and assist studies on the function of cloned genes in vivo.

D018014 Gene Transfer Techniques The introduction of functional (usually cloned) GENES into cells. A variety of techniques and naturally occurring processes are used for the gene transfer such as cell hybridization, LIPOSOMES or microcell-mediated gene transfer, ELECTROPORATION, chromosome-mediated gene transfer, TRANSFECTION, and GENETIC TRANSDUCTION. Gene transfer may result in genetically transformed cells and individual organisms.
