Glow in the dark rabbit
- HISTORY
- Alba was the name of a genetically modified "glowing" rabbit
created as an artistic work by contemporary artist Eduardo Kac,
produced in collaboration with French geneticist Louis-Marie
Houdebine.
- Alba's lifespan is an open question. In 2002, a US reporter called
INRA (France), where Houdebine works, and was told that Alba
had died.

- PROCEDURE
- The Rabbit Zygote with the Recombinant
DNA is reimplanted into the mother who
gives birth to transgenic offspring.
- 1.Obtain a somatic cell from an organism and
identify the desired gene.
- 2.Isolate the desired gene by cutting it
out using Restriction Endonuclease
enzymes.
- 3.Obtain fertilized Oocyte of Rabbit and cut DNA
using the same Restriction Endonuclease
Enzyme.
- 4. The desired DNA is annealed to the
Rabbit Zygote DNA using DNA ligase
Enzyme. The result is a Recombinant DNA.
- The Rabbit Zygote with the Recombinant
DNA is reimplanted into the mother who
gives birth to transgenic offspring.
- ADVANTAGE
- The rabbits are part of a genetic manipulation experiment, one that the
researchers hope will shed some light on hereditary diseases and hopefully
lead the way to producing drugs to help cure them.
