Gene chicken is born, Britney can produce anti-cancer eggs (12.27)

The British Roslin Research Institute successfully cloned Dolly sheep and developed a gene chicken The eggs they laid can be used to make anti-cancer drugs The new generation of anticancer drugs from genetic chickens is expected to be on the market within two years The Roslin Institute plans to show off one of its genetically modified chickens, Britney, on December 6 Scientists at the Roslin Research Institute in Edinburgh have spent two years successfully transforming the genes of hens, so that the eggs of hens contain a large number of specific proteins, which can be used to make new cancer drugs, which can be used to treat a variety of diseases, including breast adenocarcinoma and ovarian cancer The protein content of hens is determined by the genes of hens Only by changing the genes in one nucleus of hens, the eggs they lay will contain a lot of specific proteins The researchers created the genetically modified hen by modifying the genetic material in a single nucleus It is reported that each gene chicken can lay 250 eggs in a year, each egg contains at least 100 mg of protein that can be used to make anti-cancer drugs, and it is easy to extract So far, the protein can only be produced in the laboratory, even if it is only produced in small quantities, it is also very difficult, and the cost is very high This has prevented researchers from developing new drugs for a variety of diseases, including breast and ovarian cancer Britney was developed by viragen biotechnology and Roslin Institute after two years of joint efforts After the news that Roslin Institute successfully cloned Dolly sheep came to light three years ago, it shocked the whole world, because it means that human beings can also be generated through gene replication, and the debate about moral and ethical issues, and whether human beings should play the role of Creator has been disturbed for a while The United States and other countries have successively legislated to prohibit the research on human cloning China feed industry information network FTU (author:)
