.~ Involving breeding to produce a double transgenic nonhuman animal
DEFINITION
Classification: 800/22
Involving breeding to produce a double transgenic nonhuman animal:
(under subclass 21) Method wherein a double transgenic animal results from a cross between two transgenic animals, such that a transgene from each parent is found in a resultant progeny animal.
(1) Note. A "transgene" is genetic material which is not wild type and which is present in the genome of germ line cells of an animal, as a result of insertion of said genetic material into the germ line cells of that animal or one of its progenitors.
(2) Note. A "cross" is a sexual hybridization, i.e., a
mating or breeding.
(3) Note. The transgenes inherited from transgenic parents may be at different chromosomal loci or may be at the same chromosomal locus, on different copies of the same chromosome, i.e., as alleles.
