Significant modifications of milk composition have been achieved by the successful high
expression of several milk protein-encoding transgenes in animals, mainly mice. Potential …

Since the advent of the molecular biology era in the early 1970s, biotechnology has held
great promise for improving animal agriculture. Since 1982, genetic engineering has held …

Methodologies used in the production of transgenic animals, studies on the expression of
milk protein transgenes, and steps involved in the use of the mammary gland as a bioreactor …

The milk of livestock can be modified dramatically by introducing foreign DNA into the
germline. Exclusive expression of this DNA is ensured by the presence of regulatory …

Technology is currently available to create transgenic livestock animals, opening up the
possibility for their commercial use. One obvious direction this technology could take is to …

Recent progress in recombinant DNA technology as well as in embryo manipulation and
transfer has made the introduction of specific genes into the germline of animals relatively …

Using transgenic animals as the source of recombinant proteins has several specific
advantages. Large amounts of proteins can be obtained, essentially from milk. These …

The study and the control of milk synthesis are required to decipher the mechanisms of gene
expression, to improve milk production, to modify milk composition, to induce a resistance to …

Milk is a very abundant source of proteins for animal and human consumption. Milk
composition can be modified using transgenesis, including exogenous gene addition and …

Milk and milk products comprise a substantial fraction of the protein intake of the
industrialised West. The establishment of germline manipulation techniques in cows offers …
