The reasons for the enthusiasm over the monkey born this year are three: it carries a transgene inherited from its genetically modified parents; the parents were modified by means of a so-called ‘viralvector’; and the monkey was a marmoset.

INTRODUCTIONWhy non-human primates as
models? Thousands of non-human primates are used
around the world in research. Striking similarities between nonhuman
primate species and human beings. The development of drugs and vaccines.
COMMON MARMOSET
Callithrix jacchus New world primate Small size Sexual maturity at 12-18
months Short Gestation
period(144 days) Females have 40-80
offspring during their life
STRATEGY1) Vector• Self-inactivating HIV-1 type• Tagged with CMV-EGFP , CAG-EGFP and EF1-α-EGFP
2) IVF embryos Recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone and human chorionic
gonadotropin was administered by intramuscular injection . They anaesthetized and follicular aspiration was performed surgically. Oocytes were treated Hyaluronidase and incubated . Ejaculated semen was collected. IVF was performed. lentiviral vector injection was performed by Eppendorf FemtoJet express
and a Narishige micromanipulator . Injection at pronuclear to morula stage.
2) Natural embryos
• Natural embryo collection.
Embryos were treated with 0.25 sucrose.
lentiviral vector injection using an Eppendorf FemtoJet express and a Narishige micromanipulator.
The embryos were cultured until GFP expression was confirmed.
EGFP-expressing embryos were transferred to recipients.
Pregnancy test of the recipients by plasma progesterone analysis.
RESULT AND OBSERVATIONS
1)Production of transgenic marmosets
Seven recipients were pregnant.
Three recipients miscarried and the other four delivered five healthy offspring (three singletons & one pair of twins).
One male (number 666) and four females, on days 144–147 after ovulation were born.
Named as Hisui(584), wakaba(587), Bankao(588), and twin infants Kei(594) / Kou(666).
The EGFP transgene was driven by the CAG promoter in three newborns (584, 587 and 588) and by the CMV promoter in the other two (594 and 666).

2) EGFP transgene integration in the genomeExamined placenta, hair roots, skin and peripheral blood
cells.Only three placentae 584, 588 and that shared by twins
594/666) could be collected. Infant 588 showed transgene integration only in the
placenta.

4) Germline transmission of the transgene
Two of the animals (666 and 584) became sexually mature.
The transgene expression in their gametes was analyzed.RT–PCR analysis demonstrated the presence and
expression of the transgene in the germ cells of 666.The IVF embryos produced using semen collected from
666 and wild-type oocytes strongly expressed EGFP by fluorescence microscopy.
one of three pre-implantation embryos collected from 584 strongly expressed EGFP.
Three EGFP-positive IVF embryos from the male animal (666) were then transferred into a surrogate mother.
One neonate (687) was delivered at full term by caesarean section.
The neonate expressed the transgene.

Efficiency of lentiviral injection
Discussion The first report of transgenic non-human primates showing
germline transmission of the transgene.
• It’s effective for increasing the birth rate and reducing the number of surrogate mother.
• Advantageous to use marmoset natural embryos.
• Production rate was high in sucrose treated embryos.
• Technique is sufficiently effective for the production and use of genetically modified marmosets as human disease models
FUTURE PERSPECTIVESTo enable the introduction of larger transgenes into
marmoset embryos.
Targeted gene-knockdown marmosets development using RNA interference (RNAi) lentiviruses to study human diseases involving the malfunctions of specific genes.
To obtain genetically modified non-human primate models for translational research, investigations of regenerative medicine and gene therapy, and clarification of the scientific gaps among transgenic mice, human disease models, and real human diseases.
“Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!” Charleton Heston's memorable line from the 1968 classic movie Planet of the Apes is about a world where chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas – genetically modified in the 2001 version of movie – enslave humans. The original version was a story built around the racial intolerance, oppression, and animal experimentation of the late 1960s within a story of alternative evolution.
