| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to establish the method of treatment the hereditary disease based on the mutation of DNA and the deficiency by gene therapy using sperm as vector with the mouse models.
The azh mice are choiced for partial gene deficiency model. The homozygous azh/ azh male mouse is infertile with abnormal spermatozoon head-shape due to Hook1 mutation. First, yellow fluorescent protein gene can be transferred into testicular cells by using electroporation system. YFP protein was detected in the spermatogenic cells. This method might be useful for novel gene therapy.
