Abstract: A transgenic avian containing in its genome an exogenous nucleotide sequence which includes a promoter component and a vector with reduced promoter interference wherein the exogenous nucleotide sequence is integrated into the genome and the avian.

Abstract: Granulocyte colony stimulating factor obtained from eggs laid by transgenic avians having newly described G-CSF glycosylation patterns.

Abstract: This invention provides methods for the stable introduction of heterologous coding sequences into the genome of a bird and expressing the coding sequences to produce desired proteins or to alter the phenotype of the bird. The present invention provides preferred methods for introducing a transgene into the cytoplasm of avian embryonic cells by cytoplasmic microinjection. The embryo then develops into a transgenic adult capable of expressing a heterologous protein and/or capable of generating a line of transgenic birds through breeding. Synthetic vectors and gene promoters useful in the methods are also provided by the present invention, as are transgenic birds that express heterologous protein and avian eggs containing heterologous protein.

Abstract: The invention provides for transgenic avians containing nucleic acids which include an exogenous lysozyme gene expression controlling nucleotide sequence which typically is linked to a polynucleotide encoding a heterologous polypeptide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cells that can be passaged in culture and can be used for, among other things, promoter assays and the production of heterologous proteins.

Abstract: This invention provides for human interferon-? which includes novel glycosylation structures.

Abstract: This invention provides for proteins which are expressed in the avian oviduct, packaged into eggs laid by the avian, then isolated.

Abstract: This invention provides for proteins which are expressed in the avian oviduct, packaged into eggs laid by the avian.

Abstract: This invention includes compositions comprising glycosylated human interferon-? derived from a chicken.

Abstract: This invention provides for proteins which are expressed in the avian oviduct, packaged into eggs laid by the avian and removed from the eggs.

Abstract: This invention provides vectors and methods for the stable introduction of exogenous nucleic acid sequences into the genome of a bird and for expressing said exogenous sequences to alter the phenotype of the bird or to produce desired proteins. In particular, transgenic chickens are produced which express exogenous sequences in their oviducts. Eggs which contain exogenous proteins are also produced.

Abstract: The invention relates to nucleotide sequences which encode therapeutic polynucleotides which correspond to one or more certain sequences in the genome of an avian pathogen. The invention also relates to transgenic avians whose cells contain such nucleotide sequences.

Abstract: The invention includes avian hard shell eggs containing one or more pharmaceutical proteins wherein the pharmaceutical proteins are exogenous to the egg.

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.
