Research Abstract |
To generate recombinant-DANCE protein, we utilised a state-of-the-art artificial chromosomal technology. This technology enables us to introduce a gene on a human artificial chromosome (HAC) vector (developed at Tottori University), thus the transgene can be of a virtually unlimited length, including all native regulatory regions. As pilot study, a protein expression vector was introduced into the artificial chromosome vector of CHO cell, and that protein developed efficiently and stably. To establish the animal model, I utilise a transchromosomic (TC) mouse technology, which is derived from a combination of artificial chromosomal and developmental engineering. I developed the multiple-gene inducible mouse EScells using HAC vector system and multiple-integrase.
