Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2782734A1] The invention concerns a method for transferring into a mammal's oocyte a site-specific, in particular Cre-mediated, recombinase in its active form. Said recombinase is expressed under the control of a specific promoter in male germinal cells comprising at least a specific site and remains associated with the spermatozoid chromatin. Said method is particularly useful for remodelling an animal genome, for instance for inserting a foreign sequence into an animal genome, and for replacing a sequence by another. In the event where said promoter is a Sycp 1 promoter, an application mode enables to recombine paternal and maternal chromosomes. The invention also concerns animals obtainable by said method, and the use of said transgenic animals in pharmaceutical, cosmetic or agri-food industries.
