The invention discloses an animal sex control method based on Rbmy gene editing and application. The method controls animal sex by using CRISPR/Cas9 system to specifically cut Rbmy gene on Y chromosome. Rbmy gene encodes a germ cell specific nucleoprotein, this protein is an important factor related to spermatogenesis, and by cutting Rbmy gene, it is possible to deactivate Rbmy gene, thus Y sperm or fertilized ovum with Y sperm is deactivated and cannot develop into a normal embryo, birth ratio of female animals is finally increased and sex control is achieved. Therefore, sex ratio of animal offspring can be controlled through the method so that the ratio of female animals with better economic value is increased and production efficiency and economic effect are greatly improved.

Adiponectin cDNA was cloned into AAV serotypes 1, 2, and 5-based expression vectors. Virions containing these vectors were administered to the livers of rat subjects via portal vein injection. A single injection of 6×10¹¹ virions of the vector caused a sustained and statistically significant reduction in body weight of the treated animals compared to the control animals. This occurred in the absence of side effects. Compared to control animals, the subject rats also exhibited reduced adipose tissue mass, reduced appetite, improved insulin sensitivity, and improved glucose tolerance.

The genome of the non-human mutant mammal, deficient in an endogenous Sigma receptor, contains a mutation that comprises a disruption in an endogenous Sigma rteceptor gene, wherein said gene disruption gives rise to a mutant lacking detectable levels of endogenous Sigma receptor. The mutant may be used as a control animal for in vivo tests, as well as a source of cells that can be used in in vitro tests, Mutants deficient in the Sigma-1 receptor can be used as models for in vivo study of disorders of the central nervous system, memory alterations, stress conditions and drug addictions, analgesia processes and neuroprotection. Mutants deficient in the Sigma-2 receptor can be used to study diagnostic or therapeutic tools to fight cance and/or degenerative processes and/or to design compounds capable of preventing, reducing or alleviating the secondary pathology associated with administration of neuroleptic agents.

Protein replacement therapy for patients with hemophilia or other inherited protein deficiencies is often complicated by pathogenic antibody responses, including antibodies that neutralize the therapeutic protein or that predispose to potentially life-threatening anaphylactic reactions by formation of IgE. Using murine hemophilia B as a model, we have developed a prophylactic protocol against such responses that is non-invasive and does not include immune suppression or genetic manipulation of the patient's cells. Oral delivery of coagulation factor IX (F. IX) expressed in chloroplasts, bioencapsulated in plant cells, effectively blocked formation of inhibitory antibodies in protein replacement therapy. Inhibitor titers were mostly undetectable and up to 100-fold lower in treated mice when compared to controls. Moreover, this treatment eliminated fatal anaphylactic reactions that occurred after 4 to 6 exposures to intravenous F. IX protein. While only 20-25% of control animals survived after 6-8 F. IX doses, 90-95% of tolerized mice survived 12 injections without signs of allergy or anaphylaxis. This high-responder strain of hemophilia B mice represents the first hemophilic animal model to study anaphylactic reactions. The plant material was effective over a range of oral antigen doses (equivalent to 5-80 μg recombinant F.IX/kg), and controlled inhibitor formation and anaphylaxis long-term, up to 7 months. Oral antigen administration caused a deviant immune response that suppressed formation of IgE and inhibitory antibodies. This cost-effective and efficient approach to oral delivery of protein antigens to the gut should be applicable to several genetic diseases that are prone to pathogenic antibody responses during treatment.
