TRANSGENIC MOLLUSC AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING THE SAME

摘要

A transgenic mollusc capable of expressing a desired foreign gene. This transgenic mollusc is one capable of expressing a desired foreign gene (excluding genes imparting viral resistance) which has been transferred thereinto. This transgenic mollusc can be constructed by microinjecting into the male and/or female mollusc gonads the desired foreign gene to be transferred or a recombinant vector obtained by integrating a nucleic acid containing the foreign gene into a vector, crossing the male and female to give the first generation and then selecting an individual with the expression of the desired gene as described above.
