  • Patent number: 7129390
    Abstract: This invention provides vectors and methods for the stable introduction of exogenous nucleic acid sequences into the genome of avians in order to express the exogenous sequences to alter the phenotype of the avians or to produce desired proteins. In particular, transgenic avians are produced which express exogenous sequences in their oviducts and which deposit exogenous proteins into their eggs. Avian eggs that contain exogenous proteins are encompassed by this invention. The instant invention further provides novel forms of interferon and erythropoietin which are efficiently expressed in the oviduct of transgenic avians and deposited into avian eggs.

  • Publication number: 20050175738
    Abstract: Toasted sandwich bread slices are provided having crusts that remain chewable and crunchy in texture even after the sandwiches are frozen and reheated. This improved crust texture is achieved by a process of physically tenderizing the crusts of toasted bread slices before they are frozen. The bread crusts are cracked by application of compressive force to the bread slices without permanently substantially flattening the bread slices. The cracked toasted bread are highly useful in constructing a sandwich that is frozen for stable storage, and later reheated for consumption without the crusts becoming overly hard, dry and difficult to chew.
