Zusammenfassung:Sustained cultures of avian embryonic stem cells are provided. Injection of avian embryonic stem cells into recipient embryos yields chimeras with a significant contribution from the embryonic stem cell phenotype. Transgene encoding exogenous proteins are stably integrated in the embryonic stem cell s and are present in the somatic tissue of the resulting chimeras. The transgenes may encode exogenous proteins expressed in endodermal, ectodermal , mesodermal, or extra embryonic tissue. Breeding the resulting chimera yields transgenic birds whose genome is comprised of exogenous DNA.
