Abstract: Transgenes for producing recombinant polypeptides transgenic bovine species. A transgene for producing recombinant polypeptides in the milk of transgenic bovine species comprises at least one expression regulation sequence, a secretory DNA sequence encoding a secretory signal sequence which is functional in mammary secretory cells of the bovine species and a recombinant DNA sequence encoding the recombinant polypeptide. Also included are methods for producing transgenic bovine species. The method includes introducing the above transgene into an embryonal target cell of a bovine species, transplanting the transgenic embryonic target cell formed thereby into a recipient bovine parent and identifying at least one female offspring which is capable of producing the recombinant polypeptide in its milk.

Abstract: A transgenic bovine is disclosed whose somatic and germ cells contain a transgene, wherein the transgene comprising a mammary gland specific promoter, a mammary gland specific enhancer, a DNA sequence encoding a signal sequence functional in bovine mammary gland secretory cells and a DNA sequence encoding a heterologous polypeptide of interest wherein the transgenic bovine expresses the transgene such that the polypeptide of interest is detectable in milk produced by the transgenic bovine.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for intracellularly producing DNA segments by homologous recombination of smaller overlapping DNA fragments and transgenic mammalian cells and transgenic non-human mammals produced by such methods.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for the production of a transgenic bovine or a transgenic bovine embryo comprising obtaining an ovum from bovine ovaries, maturing the ovum in vitro, fertilizing the mature ovum or ova in vitro to form a zygote, introducing a transgene into the zygote in vitro and maturing the zygote to a preimplantation stage embryo in vitro. To produce the transgenic bovine, the embryo is transplanted into a recipient female bovine, wherein the female bovine gestates the embryo to produce a transgenic bovine.
