Abstract:

This experiment was conducted to analyze PCR detection ability of exogenous gene in appA-MxA transgenic pigs and to study the possibility of exogenous gene drifting to the environment through feces.To analyze PCR detection ability of exogenous gene,a series of pcDNA-appA-MxA plasmids 10-fold diluted were amplified by PCR which taking primers designed according to appA and MxA genes in appA-MxA co-transgenic pig.Appropriate fecal DNA in transgenic pigs also be amplified by PCR to detect gene drift between feces and environment.Results of PCR showed that,the minimal concentration of CMV-appA and CMV-MxA in 10 μL PCR system were 2.4×10 and 2.4×103 copy•μL-1,respectively.Detection results of appropriate fecal DNA from transgenic pigs which could overcome PCR inhibition showed that appA and MxA were not existed in feces from appA-MxA co-transgenic pigs.These results indicated that exogenous genes in transgenic pig could hardly be drifted into the environment through feces,and to some extent,transgenic pigs are safe to the environment.
