- Fig 1 is a diagram of a fertilized hen's egg
- Fig 2 is a diagram of a transgene expression cassette DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
- the avian reproductive system is distinct from mammalian reproductive systems in that the female can store sperm and fertilize a single ovum at a time
- the new fertilized ovum is large, fragile, and filled with yolk as it enters the reproductive track
- Early embryonic development occurs in the oviduct as the egg is formed around the ovum
- a protective layer of white albumen followed by an inner membrane and hardened shell before being laid (Fig 1 )
- the ovum has matured from a single cell into a blastoderm (also known as the germinal disc) composed of 40-60,000 cells and development a ⁇ ests until the hen has laid enough eggs and beings to roost In the blastoderm state, all cells are totipotent and equally capable of cont ⁇ butmg to the germ line of the developing chick
- Oviposition is the time at which the egg is laid In the chicken, oviposition occurs at stage X (a freshly laid egg, about 20 hours of utenne age)
- stage X a freshly laid egg, about 20 hours of utenne age
- DNA is therefore introduced into the blastoderm of an egg which has been incubated for 6 hours or less
- stage X refers to a stage of development that occurs at about 20 hours ute ⁇ ne age and is charactenzed by oviposition
- stage 10 refers to a stage of embryonic chick development (charactenzed by tissue differentiation) No tissue differentiation has occu ⁇ ed in stage X of development Accordingly, genetic manipulation occurs before differentiation of blastodermal cells into embryonic
- the germinal disc is distinguished from the germinal crescent region in that the germinal disc contains undifferentiated blastodermal cells (at stage X or before), whereas the germinal crescent region appears in the early stages of chick embryo development (I e , stages 3-5 or 9-1 1 of chick embryo development)
- the cells of the blastoderm are genetically manipulated both in vitro or in vivo using gene delivery techniques and then used to produce transgemc or chime ⁇ c chickens by allowing development in the egg, transfernng to a recipient unfertilized egg, or transfer ⁇ ng to the testes of a ste ⁇ le rooster for development into spermatogonia
- the optimum time for transfection is between oviposition and several hours of activation of the egg in order to reduce the number of target cells for transfection
- the blastoderm is accessed by cutting or d ⁇ lling a small hole in the egg shell (sitting upnght) with a scapel or dnll and gently peeling back the inner membrane to expose the white albumen
- the blastoderm automatically onents to the top of the yolk and is visualized under light
- the cells of the blastoderm are transfected in v ⁇ o by infusing DNA directly into the blastoderm using a synnge and small gauge needle
- the DNA is naked or complexed with pids or other suitable compounds to facility DNA uptake (e g , DEAE-dextran) If the DNA is naked, the transfection efficiency is increased by passing an electncal current across the blastoderm or whole egg with a device such as a human heart defib ⁇ llator If a current is passed across the whole egg, two additional holes are made in the egg shell to expose the inner membrane to the cu ⁇ ent since the shell will not conduct elect ⁇ city
- the blastoderm is removed from the egg and pooled with the cells from several eggs using a small pipet
- DNA uptake by blastodermal cells is facilitated by such techniques as electroporation, DEAE-dextran treatment, calcium phosphate treatment, or pofection
- the cells are transferred into the germinal disc of an unfertilized egg for development of a transgemc chick or into the testes of a ste ⁇ le rooster to induce development in spermatogonia and sperm for breeding
- Chicks produced are tested for the presence of the transgene according to known methods, e g, by the polymerase chain reaction or southern blot analysis
- the overall efficiency of the nucleic acid delivery procedure depends on the method and timing of gene delivery Transfection efficiency is optionally increase by methods such as
- Prefe ⁇ ed transgene constructs include those carrying the ovalbumin promoter operatively linked to the human serum albumin gene
- Fertilized eggs are laid and collected (day 1 )
- the eggs are shipped at room temperature (umncubated) (day 2)
- the eggs are allowed to site upnght for at least
- a fertilized hen's egg was collected and placed in a humidified incubator for between 1 and 6 hours to activate the egg
- a hole was cut in the egg shell using a dremel and the inner membrane was folded back
- the egg was placed on a light to visualize the germinal disc which was infused with a hpid/DNA complex
- the inner membrane was folded into place and the egg sealed with parafilm
- the egg was placed back into the incubator and allowed to develop to term ⁇ blood sample or inner membrane sample as taken from the resulting chick and tested for the presence of the transgene by the polymerase chain reaction with transgene specific p ⁇ mers
- a mosaic or chime ⁇ c chick is bred to a rooster to produce fully transgemc offsp ⁇ ng
- Example 2 In vitro DNA delivery of blastodermal cells and transfer of transfected eggs to an unfertilized egg
- a genomic sequence encoding human insulin was operatively linked to a promoter which directs transcription of a nucleic acid to which it is operably linked in avian eggs.
- the promoter is a human lactoferrin promoter.
- transcription regulatory elements are derived from a milk specific promoter, e.g., a mammalian lactoferrin gene promoter.
- the expression cassette contains a promoter region derived from the human lactoferrin gene operably linked to a heterologous sequence.
- a heterologous sequence is one that does not encode a lactoferrin polypeptide.
- the promoter region includes at least 20 nucleotides of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:l .

- Table 2 Human Lactoferrin promoter region
- lactoferrin-derived promoter regions described above are linked to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:3 (GENBA KTM accession no. S52659).
- isolated is meant a nucleic acid molecule that is free of the genes which, m the naturally-occumng genome of the organism, flank the sequence of interest
- isolated includes, for example, a recombinant DNA which is incorporated into a vector; into an autonomously replicating plasmid or virus; or into the genomic DNA of a procaryote or eucaryote; or which exists as a separate molecule (e g , a cDNA or a genomic or cDNA fragment produced by PCR or rest ⁇ ction endonuclease digestion) independent of other sequences.
- telomere sequence which is part of a hyb ⁇ d gene encoding additional polypeptide sequence
- the term excludes large segments of genomic DNA, e g , such as those present in cosmid clones, which contain a given DNA sequence flanked by one or more other genes which naturally flank it in a naturally-occumng genome Lactofemn-de ⁇ ved transc ⁇ ption regulatory sequences, are attached to a nominal promoter (e g , the nominal lactofermn promoter or a heterologous promoter) which in turn is operably linked to a sequence to be transc ⁇ bed
- the heterologous sequence to be transc ⁇ bed is a polypeptide-encodmg sequence or antisense sequence
- the regulatory sequences of the invention operably linked to a polypeptide-encodmg sequence direct production of the encoded polypeptide m avian tissues
- nucleic acid fragment is a portion of at least 20 continuous nucleotides identical to a portion of length equivalent to one of the reference nucleotide sequences or to its complement
- promoters which direct transcnption m eggs of an avian animal are known in the art, e g , the chicken ovalbumin promoter (GENBANKTM J00895 or M24999) and the chicken lysozyme promoter (GENBANKTM J00886 or V00429)

- Other regulatory elements which direct transcnption of transgenes include a nuclear DNA attachment element which mediates elevated and position-independent gene activity (Stief, A , et al ,
- Protein or polypeptide products to be expressed by the transgene include human insulin (GENBANKTMV00565), human calcitomn (GENBANKTM XI 5943, Broad et al., Nucl Acids Res 17 6999-701 1 ), human serum albumin (GENBANKTM M12523, J04457), and a porcine single chain insulin

- GCAACTAGACTCGAG SEQ ID NO 4
- the invention includes sequences which hyb ⁇ dize under st ⁇ ngent conditions, with all or part of the sequence reported in a reference sequence and retains transcnption regulatory function
- the nucleic acid may contain one or more sequence modifications in relation to a reference sequence Such modifications may be obtained by mutation, deletion and or addition of one or more nucleotides compared to the reference sequence Modifications are introduced to alter the activity of the regulatory sequence, e g , to improve promoter activity, to suppress a transc ⁇ ption inhibiting region, to make a constitutive promoter regulatable or vice versa Modification are also made to introduce a rest ⁇ ction site facilitating subsequent cloning steps, or to eliminate the sequences which are not essential to the transcnptional activity
- a modified sequence is at least 70% (more preferably at least 80%, more preferably at least 90%, more preferably at least 95%, more preferably at least 99%) identical to a reference sequence The modifications do not substantially alter the transc ⁇ ption promoter function associated with

- the vector contained a unique Xhol site for the addition of heterologous coding sequences.
- the human insulin gene was PCR amplified from human genomic DNA with the p ⁇ mers HINF3 (5'GCCCTCGAGGACAGGCTGCATCAGAA3 ' ; (SEQ ID NO:6)) H ⁇ NR3 (5'CTCGGTGCTCGAGGCGGCGGGTGT3 ⁇ SEQ ID NO7) cloned into the vector pCR2.1 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad,CA) according to the manufacturer's instructions The gene sequenced using the Amp cycle Sequencing kit (PE Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) to confirm that no base mutations had occu ⁇ ed dunng amplification.
- the gene was excised from the vector pCR2.1 as and Xhol fragment and cloned into the Xhol site of the human lactofemn expression cassette. The o ⁇ entation of the insulin gene was confirmed by rest ⁇ ction analysis and DNA sequencing. The completed vector was designated HL31 and could be excised from the bacte ⁇ al backbone as a Sail to Notl fragment Example 6 Preparation of HL31 for Transfection
- the eggshell was removed to expose the inner shell membrane and allow the visualization of the germinal disc. If the germinal disc could not be visualized a small opening was made in the membrane.
- the DNA/lipid solution was injected directly into the center of the disc. Nucleic acid solutions (construct encoding human insulin) were injected in a volume of 50-100 1 with a lcc syringe and 27 gauge needle or in a volume of 10-20 1 with a microinjection needle attached to a Hamilton syringe. Table 6 shows data from representative experiments. 228 eggs were injected and 26 chicks were hatched (Table 6)
- Chimensm of the hatched chicks was tested by PCR analysis of genomic DNA isolated from the inner shell membrane (post-hatching), or the liver, kidney, and reproductive organs upon necropsy (Table 7) Out of the 3 chicks tested in expenment 32, 2 showed a strong PCR signal in the inner shell membrane sample Upon maturation, these chicks are bred to confirm germhne transmission of the transgene PCR analysis of necropsy samples (membrane and reproductive organs) taken from 4 chicks de ⁇ ved from expenments 32 & 33 revealed that 1 out of 4 chicks had detectable levels of the transgene its reproductive organs
- Table 7 shows results from a representative analysis of tissue expression of human insulin transgene in chime ⁇ c chickens produced as descnbed above Table 7 PCR analysis of Genomic DNA Isolated from Chimenc Chicks
- transgenes such as MT-beta-Gal, and CMV-GFP were also transfected into blastodermal cells in vivo Chicks were produced and tested for tissue expression of the transgene as descnbed above The transgemc DNA was detected in the following tissues which were tested heart, liver, and kidney
- the methods of the invention do not utilize retroviral particles Many of those methods use non-rephcatmg retroviruses, which contain a gene of interest, to mfect a developing egg
- This process has several limitations which include a restnction on the size of the gene packaged in the viral coat, and instability of expression from retroviral vectors
- retroviral gene delivery is severely limited in its ability to produce high levels of multime ⁇ c proteins since each coding region w ould optimally require its own promoter
- IRES sequences which allow for bicistromc mRNAs, howev er the expression from these types of constructs is generally low unless a selection marker is used
- the transgene is insulated from the effects of the surrounding chromatin structure by including elements such as mat ⁇ x attachment regions (Step 3 of Fig 2) Unlike p ⁇ or art methods which have utilized mat ⁇ x attachment region, the constructs descnbed herein result in equal expression of multimenc proteins
- the elements are called A-elements, MAR for mat ⁇ x attachment regions, SAR, scaffolding attachment regions, DCR for dominant control region, and insulators.
