Introduction: Recently, the national "863" plan transgenic cattle base has settled in Gaoliying Town, Shunyi District, Beijing This is the only large-scale transgenic animal base project approved by the Ministry of science and technology in China It is expected to invest 18 million yuan in the first phase Transgenic animal is to introduce foreign genes into the animal body and pass them on to the offspring Using transgenic animals to produce genetically engineered human protein drugs is like building a "pharmaceutical factory" on animals, which can continuously obtain products and is a new industry that can obtain huge economic benefits Since 1990s, China has been engaged in the research of transgenic animals, and has successfully cultivated transgenic mice, transgenic sheep, etc., but at present, no transgenic animal products have been produced The only transgenic animal research projects also have some fatal weak points, such as relatively scattered, small-scale and so on, which are difficult to adapt to the needs of international competition The project of "transgenic cattle base" settled in Gaoliying town is a large-scale transgenic animal base project led by the State Science and Technology Commission Li Ning, a professor at China Agricultural University, was in charge of this project He successfully cultivated the first moaat transgenic sheep in Shunyi District in 2000 He said that the milk produced in this base is not for drinking, but for extracting expensive drugs Relevant people said that it will build a world-class high-tech green base in accordance with European breeding standards (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
