Human hormone gene Using recombinant DNA technology (described in Chapter 21), insert the coding sequence of a human hormone gene next to a sheep B-lactoglobulin promoter. This promoter is functional only in mammary cells so that the protein product is secreted into the milk. B-lactoglobulin promoter Plasmid vector Inject this DNA into a sheep oocyte. The plasmid DNA will integrate into the chromosomal DNA, resulting in the addition of the human hormone gene into the sheep's genome. Oocyte Plasmid DNA travels into the nucleus and integrates into a chromosome. Implant the fertilized oocyte into a female sheep, which then gives birth to a transgenic sheep offspring. Transgenic sheep Obtain milk from female transgenic sheep. The milk contains a human hormone. Purify the hormone from the milk.
