Spermmediated gene transfer revisited: optimizing delivery, integration, and germline transmissionin large animal models
Abstract: Spermmediated gene transfer (SMGT) exploits the natural role of spermatozoa as DNA vectors to deliver exogenous genetic material to oocytes, potentially enabling economical production of transgenic large animals without complex embryo micromanipulation (1). Early proofofconcept studies established that mammalian sperm can bind, internalize, and protect exogenous DNA, leading to integration, expression, and germline transmission in various species, including pigs (24). Subsequent mechanistic work has challenged the traditional view of sperm …
