  • Patent number: 8283518
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for the administration of transposon-based vectors to the reproductive organs of animals and the creation of transgenic animals. Preferred methods involve administration of the transposon-based vectors to the lumen of the oviduct of an avian, expression of a vector derived transgene in the avian, and deposition of the resultant polypeptide in an egg. This invention allows for large amounts of protein to be deposited in the egg.

  • Publication number: 20100261227
    Abstract: Novel compositions for the in vitro or in vivo production of specific proteins are provided. The compositions comprise components of vectors, such as a vector backbone, a promoter, and a gene of interest that encodes for the protein of interest, and the transposon-based vectors comprising these components. Also provided are methods of making these compositions and methods of using these compositions for the production of desired proteins in vivo or in transfected cells in vitro.

  • Patent number: 7527966
    Abstract: Administration of modified transposon-based vectors has been used to achieve stable incorporation of exogenous genes into animals. These transgenic animals produce transgenic progeny. Further, these transgenic animals produce large quantities of desired molecules encoded by the transgene. Transgenic egg-laying animals produce large quantities of desired molecules encoded by the transgene and deposit these molecules in the egg.
