BACTERIOPHAGE-BASED TRANSGENIC FISH FOR MUTATION DETECTION

Title:

BACTERIOPHAGE-BASED TRANSGENIC FISH FOR MUTATION DETECTION

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO1999062333

Kind Code:

A9

Abstract:

The present invention provides transgenic fish whose somatic and germ cells contain a genomically integrated bacteriophage lambda-derived transgene construct. The transgene construct can include an excisable test nucleic acid sequence containing a heterologous mutation target nucleic acid sequence that is detectable via bioassay in a bacterial cell into which the test nucleic acid has been introduced. The frequency of mutations in the mutation target nucleic acid sequence following exposure of the transgenic fish to one or more potentially mutagenic agents can thus be evaluated.
