This study was performed during the four seasons for the production of transgenic pigs containing the Cellulase Digest Gene. Purebred Landrace gilts and sows approximately 8∼15 months of age (n=126) were used for the collection of 1-cell zygotes for DNA microinjection and transfer. Retrospectively, estrus synchronization and superovulation schemes were evaluated to assess practicality fur zygote collection. Synchronization and superovulation procedures were used that cyclic gilts were synchronized with 20mg altrenogest (ALT) per day for 9 days after PG600 administration followed by superovulation with 1000 IU pregnant mares serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and 750IU human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). The cellulase digestion gene for microinjection is rat elasterase promoter (rEl) linked to CelD gene. After hormone treatment, 1,422 embryos were collected from 91 donors and 95.6% (1,359/1,422) embryos were in 1-cell stage which can be visualized the pronuclei for DNA microinjection. A total of 725 DNA microinjected embryos transferred into 35 recipients and produced 65 piglets from 13 litters. Pregnancy rate according to the number of transferred embryos to recipients was higher the group which received 21 to 24 embryos (50.0%) than other groups 20.0% in less and 33.3% in more. A tail tissue was collected from 65 piglets for biopsy. PCR screening was performed on each DNA sample using two separate sets of primers specific for the 5’’’’- and 3’’’’-flanking region of the rEl-CelD gene. Five of the 65 piglets (7.69%) were positive for the transgene. This study provide useful information regarding production of transgenic pig for bioreactor research.
