| Modern Genetic Analysis Chapter 11. Applications of Recombinant DNA Technology Gene Therapy Figure 11-22. Transgenic mouse. The mice are siblings, but the mouse on the left was derived from an egg transformed by injection with a new gene composed of the mouse metallothionein promoter fused to the rat growth hormone structural gene. (This mouse weighs 44 g, and its untreated sibling 29 g.) The new gene is passed on to progeny, in a Mendelian manner, and so is proved to be chromosomally integrated. (R. L. Brinster)
