TRANSGENIC MOLLUSK AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A transgenic mollusk which can express a desired foreign gene, and a method for producing the same are disclosed. The mollusk is a transgenic mollusk into which a desired foreign gene (excluding a gene giving resistance to a virus) is introduced, which expresses the foreign gene. This transgenic mollusk can be produced by microinjecting into gonad of male and/or female of mollusk a recombinant vector into which a desired foreign gene to be introduced or a nucleic acid containing the foreign gene is inserted; crossing the male and female to produce individuals of first generation; and selecting therefrom (an) individual(s) which express(es) the desired gene.
