Robert E. Hammer,Vernon G. Pursel,Caird E. Rexroad,Robert J. Wall,D. J. Bolt,Karl M. Ebert,Richard D. Palmiter,Ralph L. Brinster +7 more
TL;DR: Integration of the fusion gene in all three species and expression of the gene in transgenic rabbits and pigs are reported here.

Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic engineering of livestock.
Vernon G. Pursel,Carl A. Pinkert,Kurt F. Miller,D. J. Bolt,R. G. Campbell,Richard D. Palmiter,Ralph L. Brinster,Robert E. Hammer +7 more
TL;DR: The ability to produce pigs exhibiting only the beneficial, growth-promoting effects of growth hormone by a transgenic approach may require better control of transgene expression, a different genetic background, or a modified husbandry regimen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glutathione concentration during maturation and after fertilization in pig oocytes: relevance to the ability of oocytes to form male pronucleus.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the composition of maturation medium affects the GSH concentration in pig oocytes, and GSH synthesis during oocyte maturation is an important factor for promoting their ability to form a male pronucleus after fertilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetically enhanced cows resist intramammary Staphylococcus aureus infection.
Robert J. Wall,Anne M. Powell,Max Paape,David Kerr,Douglas D. Bannerman,Vernon G. Pursel,Kevin D. Wells,Neil C. Talbot,H. W. Hawk +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that genetic engineering can provide a viable tool for enhancing resistance to disease and improve the well-being of livestock with as little as 3 mg/ml of lysostaphin in milk.
