Abstract
The specificity of expression of eucaryotic genes depends on various cis- and trans-regulatory sequences and factors. The specificity of expression of bovine casein genes has long been a question of intensive interest. A convenient approach to the study of functional sites of a gene is the use of transformation of animal embryos or cells in vitro. But the question is to move forward more quickly than through transgenic animals. The study of gene regulation of mammary glands also needs a simple model. One possible model — Xenopus laevis oocytes, has been used recently to study factors involved in immunoglobulin gene expression (Sweeney and Old, 1988).
