Transgenic animals can be beneficial for medicine, agriculture and industrial
Genetically modified animals can be used to advance human and animal health. pproducing new replacement proteins, drugs, vaccines and tissues for the treatment and prevention of human disease.
Specifically this is done through animals modified for the production of
Xenotransplantation Through Xenotransplants Transgenic animal’s cells are modified so cells, organs or tissues can be compatible with humans and can transplanted without being rejected by the human immune system.
Although There are diseases that pigs and/or all animals contract that humans do not. Xenosis infection of humans by agents such as bacteria or viruses that are derived from animals. and there is some concern that using pig organs for example would introduce new viruses, bacteria or disease to the humans. …show more content…
genes encoding hormones, blood proteins, and are inserted into domestic animals, which is expressed in the milk, blood and or urine. Products such as insulin, growth hormone, and blood anti-clotting factors may be obtained from the milk of transgenic cows, sheep, or goat
Disease model for human diseases. Animals are subject to become more susceptible to a disease or are modified so the effect of the disease is more notable within the animal. Thus monitor and understand the effects of a disease for the development of new theories. Knockout mouse has certain genes knocked out to monitor the effect of the gene in disease. Used to study cancer, obesity, disease, diabetes, arthritis, substance abuse, anxiety, aging and Parkinson's
