Belarusian scientists to create a she-goat using a human gene
05/03/2005 13:11
Belorusian and Russian scientists are planning to produce a genetically
engineered she-goat.
It would be the first genetically engineered she-goat to be created in
the CIS countries, according to Alexander Budevich, a project coordinator of
the joint project BelRosTransgen, a researcher with the cattle breeding
research center of the Belurusian National Academy of Sciences. He says that
human proteins will be inserted into the animal DNA this May.
"Lactoferrine derived from the human milk will be inserted into the
animal DNA to produce unique milk with immune-enhancing properties," says Mr.
Budevish. Scientists are planning to insert human lactoferrine into 100 animals.
The new goats' milk will be an effective means of treating cardiovascular
diseases and the best milk for the artificial feeding of infants should the
experiments prove a success. Scientists use the goat for their experiments
because the animal is quite agreeable by nature and has a short pregnancy
period, Interfax reported. The first experiments involving genetic engineering
of animals started in Belarus about 15 years ago, according to Mr. Budevi?h.
