Several key elements were found to have significant effects on the integration of exogenous gene. These elements include forms and doses of pcMTsGH gene microinjected, stages of embryo at which microinjection conducted and pretreatment of fertilized eggs for microinjection. The results show that, in producing transgenic fish, (1) the best time for microinjection is late onecell stage, (2) the most appropriate dose of pcMTsGH gene for microinjection is around 106～107 copies; (3) the hatching rate rises up when the gene is microinjected into the eggs whose chorions are removed, but the integration rate has no significant changes before and after the removal of egg chorions.展开更多
