INTRODUCTION
4 U0 Y! E2 W" [( Z1 ~/ q* t
This protocol describes a method for the production of transgenic rats by coinjecting circular PiggyBac transposon-containing plasmid DNA with transposase-encoding mRNA. After fertilized eggs are collected from females, pronuclei are microinjected with the DNA and mRNA and then transferred immediately into the oviducts of pseudopregnant foster females. Using this procedure, we have obtained transformation frequencies of 33%-100% (average of ~80%). Traditional methods for generating transgenic rats (i.e., microinjection of linear DNA) yield 3%-41% transgenic founders. Thus, transposon-mediated transformation of fertilized rat eggs is an efficient alternative method to generate transgenic rats.9 A" i5 ^. Z! L0 q* z5 _3 D, A/ j: e6 y

1. Four days before setting up matings, prepare 12 adult female SD rats by synchronizing their estrus cycles using subcutaneous injection of 40 µg of LHRHa (between 9 am and 4 pm) (Filipiak and Saunders 2006).# o( h( n* t  G; G- J9 t) e

      i. For fertilized egg production, breed six female SD rats to male SD rats.

      ii. Breed six SD females with vasectomized Long Evans males for use as embryo-recipient foster mothers./ G9 e- P0 H- V2 J
      For the foster mothers, the presence of a white vaginal plug indicates mating has occurred. For the egg donors, if no plug is observed, then microscopic examination of vaginal aspirate smears for the presence of sperm is required to confirm mating.

6. Resuspend the RNA in DEPC-treated H2O to 1 µg/µL.
We have had difficulty accurately measuring RNA concentration at this point, perhaps due to the poly-A tail. However, we have obtained satisfactory results by assuming the yield is as described in the kit instructions (20-30 µg total per reaction) and dissolving the pellet in 20 µL H2O.- @* F0 j9 W4 o& {$ f7 X

7. Aliquot the RNA into microcentrifuge tubes (~1 µL RNA/tube). Freeze the tubes at –80ºC until ready for use.
Because of the stickiness of the RNA solution, the actual amount transferred by a P20 micropipette may be closer to ~1.5 µL/tube. Regardless, this gives satisfactory results.7 Z+ C+ N4 Z/ G7 ^" L- u+ O' N

DISCUSSION
) I9 h, f* W. D+ a( g" \4 s& V8 j+ Y
In our hands, this procedure has been used to transform both rats and mice, using constructs of several different sizes. The efficiencies we have observed so far are shown in Table 1. In comparison, traditional methods for generating transgenic rats (i.e., microinjection of linear DNA) yield 3%-41% transgenic founders (Popova et al. 2005; Filipiak and Saunders 2006)./ b! S" O0 k4 h% s) S" n

We have obtained transgenic mice using this method at a lower frequency (average = 24%) than what we found for transgenic rat generation. pXL-AttP/B-T3-Bhr2 contains a mouse tyrosinase minigene (Overbeek et al. 1991). Nine of the 10 transgenic rat founders generated using this plasmid were pigmented, demonstrating transgene expression. As an aside, the pigmentation pattern shows that the SD stock we obtained from Taconic Farms is homozygous for the hooded mutation. Southern analysis and preliminary breeding of the founders suggests that the transposons have integrated at multiple locations in the genome. This will complicate breeding schemes but may be useful if transgene expression is being assayed only in founder animals. Transposon-mediated transgenesis may also facilitate transgenic studies in livestock and other mammalian model organisms.- h: [- r  J  t: e
