The efficiency was investigated of transfer of exogenous DNA to chicken embryos in vivo with the use of retroviral vectors. The gene construction involves a marker gene GFT under control of promoter of yearly genes of human cytomegalovirus CMV IE (pLNCgfp) or promoter of Moloney leukemia virus Mo-MuLV (pLgfpSN). Two packing lines GP + envAM12 and PT67 were used for the delivery of retroviral vectors. It was established the high efficiency of embryo transformation with the use of pLNCgfp gene construction (up to 18.8 %). The expression of marker gene was demonstrated in cells of 5- and 15-day age chicken embryos.
Keywords: cell engineering, transgenesis, retrovirus vectors, chicken.
