Abstract

We have evaluated whether transgenic mouse technology could be used to derive immortalised recombinant cell lines stably expressing heterologous proteins, such as human al-antitrypsin and human factor IX. In this system, the expression of an onc gene and the gene of interest is targetted to a specific cell type in transgenic mice using tissue-specific regulatory DNA sequences. This leads to the generation of specific tumours: onc gene-induced lymphomas and hepatomas. The tumour cells are then cultured and permanent producer cell lines are established. Under appropriate culture conditions, several cell lines derived from trans-hepatomas maintain a differentiated phenotype, and are capable of expressing biologically active and correctly processed factor IX.
