Fig. 1. GFP fluorescence in CAG-GFP transgenic chickens. (A) The
provirus is flanked by self-inactivating LTRs (
LTR), and contains the
virus packaging site (
) and a neomycin resistance open reading frame
5' to the CAG-eGFP transgene. (B-E) GFP fluorescence in
transgenic embryos at (B) new laid egg stage, (C) stage 4 HH, (D) stage 15 HH
and (E) 5 days (transgenic on left). (F,G) Transverse sections
of (F) stage 15 HH GFP+ and control embryos, and (G) day 5
GFP+ and control embryos. (H) Stage 13 HH embryos hybridised
for GFP (transgenic on left). (I) Flow cytometric analysis of GFP
fluorescence (stage 11 HH embryos). Black line, non-transgenic embryo; blue
and green lines, transgenic lines 158 and 205, respectively. Scale bars: 0.5
mm.
