Influence of Phytase Transgenic Corn on the Intestinal Microflora and the Fate of Transgenic DNA and Protein in Digesta and Tissues of Broilers
Fig 5
The PCR products from the tissues of broilers fed with either control corn (CC) or phytase transgenic corn (PTC).
(A) PCR assay of the endogenous gene (ov, 396 bp) of chickens (left), and (B) PCR assay of the exogenous gene (phyA2, 678 bp) of PTC (right). Arrows represent the expected length of PCR products. M: marker; 2, 4, 6, and 8: heart, liver, kidney, breast muscle, and leg muscle of CC-fed broilers, respectively; And 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11: heart, liver, kidney, breast muscle, and leg muscle of PTC-fed broilers, respectively.
