Production of transgenic pigs over-expressing the antiviral gene Mx1

Production of transgenic pigs over-expressing the antiviral gene Mx1

The myxovirus resistance gene (Mx1) has a broad spectrum of antiviral activities. It is therefore an interesting candidate gene to improve disease resistance in farm animals. In this study, we report the use of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) to produce transgenic pigs over-expressing the Mx1 g...
