Alba is a participant in the "GFP Bunny" transgenic artwork; so is anyone who comes in contact with her, and anyone who gives any consideration to the project.
"GFP Bunny" highlights the fact that transgenic animals are regular creatures that are as much part of social life as any other life form, and thus are deserving of as much love and care as any other animal [16].
"GFP Bunny" does not propose any new form of genetic experimentation, which is the same as saying: the technologies of microinjection and green fluorescent protein are established well-known tools in the field of molecular biology.
GFP applications abound in such areas as cell and developmental biology, neurobiology, and cytology where the time and location of specific gene activation can be determined by fluorescence microscopy, confocal microscopy, and image intensification.
GFP is also being developed for use in high throughput cell-based diagnostic tests for drugs, food additives, herbicides, pesticides, carcinogens, mutagens, teratogens, and other potentially hazardous chemicals.
The brilliant fluorescence of GFP and the ability to manipulate and express the GFP gene in foreign cells and organisms make this protein an ideal tool for laboratory instruction in biotechnology at all educational levels from grade school through postgraduate.
