Abstract: The present invention relates to a genetically modified pig comprising at least one site for integration of at least one transgene. The invention also pertains to a porcine embryo, blastocyst, fetus, donor cell and/or cell nucleus, derived from said genetically modified pig. In another aspect, the invention relates to any genetically modified porcine blastocyst, wherein the genetically modified genome comprises at least one site for integration of at least one transgene.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a genetically modified pig as a model for studying atherosclerosis. The modified pig model displays one or more phenotypes associated with atherosclerosis. Disclosed is also a modified pig comprising a mutation in the endogenous ApoE gene or part thereof, LDL gene or part thereof, LDL receptor gene, or transcriptional or translational product or part thereof. The invention further relates to methods for producing the modified pig; and methods for evaluating the effect of a therapeutical treatment of atherosclerosis; methods for screening the efficacy of a pharmaceutical composition; and a method for treatment of a human being suffering from atherosclerosis are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods for cell nuclear transfer that comprise for example modification of zona pellucida of an oocyte, and/or sectioning of oocytes into several parts. The present invention also discloses methods for producing a genetically modified non-human mammal. Genetically modified non-human mammals obtainable by the disclosed methods are also within the scope of the present invention. Disclosed are also methods for cryopreservation of cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a genetically modified pig as a model for studying breast cancer, mitochondria related protein folding disorders and/or epidermolysis bullosa simplex. The modified pig model displays one or more phenotypes associated with any of said disorders. Disclosed is also a modified pig comprising a modified endogeneous BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 gene, and/or a modified ornithine transcarbamylase gene, and/or a modified Keratin 14 gene and/or a transcriptional or translational product or part thereof. The invention further relates to methods for producing the modified pig; and methods for evaluating the effect of a therapeutical treatment of breast cancer, mitochondria related protein folding disorders and/or epidermolysis bullosa simplex; methods for screening the efficacy of a pharmaceutical composition; and a method for treatment of a human being suffering from breast cancer, mitochondria related protein folding disorders and/or epidermolysis bullosa simplex are disclosed.
