The selected gene utilized in a gene transfer protocol. For example, if you wished to treat a patient for cystic fibrosis, you might plan to transfer a corrected version of the CFTR gene into the cells of the airway. In this example, the corrected version of the CFTR gene would be the transgene.

Helpful?           0
(transgenic, transgenesis): referring to an artifical process whereby a gene is taken from one organism and introduced into the genetic make-up of another organism.
Helpful?           0
