Abstract
The data on the in vitro and in vivo (into embryonic disk) retroviral-mediated transfer of genetic information into chicken embryonic cells are presented. The estimated transformation frequency of the cultured target cells constituted 8 × 10−4 to 5 × 10−3. A transgenic rooster, carrying recombinant DNA in blood, heart, liver, and intestine cells, was obtained.
