Unintended Effects of Genetic Manipulation
Intended Effect: Pharmaceutical Production (Animals)
goat_001:
Transgenic goats engineered to secrete the human protein cholinesterase
into their milk produced less milk, with lower fat and lactose levels
and unusually high white blood cell counts.
pig_004:
Transgenic expression of a mouse milk protein impaired mammary
development and function in pigs.
sheep_002:
Transgenic sheep had unusually high morbidity and expressed a
milk-specific protein in their spleen, liver, and other organs.
Intended Effect: Pharmaceutical Production (Plants)
barley_003:
Difficulties were encountered when trying to express human collagen
in barley.
tobacco_002:
Discoloration and DNA rearrangements were observed in transgenic
tobacco plants expressing HIV proteins.
