  • Publication number: 20090239797
    Abstract: A non-human trangenic mammalian animal, as described above, contains an exogenous double stranded DNA sequence stably integrated into the genome of the animal, which comprises cis-acting regulatory units operably linked to a DNA sequence encoding human FIX protein without the benefit of the presence of a complete milk gene sequence for gene rescue, and a signal sequence is active in directing newly expressed Factor IX into the milk of the animal at levels in an unactivated form that is suitable for subsequent processing for therapeutic applications in treating Hemophilia B. The transgenic mammals are preferably pigs, cows, sheep, goats and rabbits. The applications include milk derivatives for oral delivery and oral tolerization in the treatment of Hemophilia B.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20040133932
    Abstract: A non-human transgenic mammalian animal, as described above, contains one or more exogenous double stranded DNA sequence(s) stably integrated into the genome of the animal, which comprises trans-acting regulatory units controlling expression of DNA sequences encoding proteins to be secreted into the milk of transgenic mammals. The DNA sequence of the trans-regulatory gene encodes transcriptional activating proteins, which are not secreted but made in a temporally controlled and mammary tissue specific manner. The DNA sequence containing the protein to be secreted in the milk is constructed on a separate gene sequence under the regulation of a minimal promoter and a trans-activation binding domain. The transgenic mammals are preferably pigs, cows, sheep, goats and rabbits. A related composition and method for making transgenic proteins which require specialized propeptides for proper post-translational processing is also described.

  • Publication number: 20040117862
    Abstract: A non-human trangenic mammalian animal, as described above, contains an exogenous double stranded DNA sequence stably integratedintot he gemone of the animal, which comprises cis-acting regulatory untis operably linked to a DNA sequence encoding a modifed or variant human FVIII protein, and a signal sequence and secretion motif that is active in directing newly expressed Factor VIII into the milk of the animal at levels an in an unactivated, nondegraded and otherwise stable form that is suitable for subsequent processing for therapeutic applications in treating Hemophilia A. The transgenic mammals are preferably pigs, cows, sheep, goats and rabbits. The applications include milk derivatives used for oral delivery and oral tolerization in the treatment of Hemophilia A.
