Abstract: Compositions of plant carbohydrates for dietary supplements and nutritional support for promotion and maintenance of good health. Defined nutritionally effective amounts of one to eleven essential saccharides, glyconutrients, are used in various inventive compositions as dietary supplements. The dietary composition herein can include phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, and other non-toxic nutrients. The glyconutritional dietary supplement herein provides essential saccharides which are the building blocks of glycoproteins. These compositions, when administered orally or topically, have been found to improve the well being of mammals suffering from a variety of disorders.

Abstract: The present invention provides a new, effective and efficient method of producing multimeric proteins in an individual. Multimeric proteins include associated multimeric proteins (two or more associated polypeptides) and multivalent multimeric proteins (a single polypeptide encoded by more than one gene of interest). Expression and/or formation of the multimeric protein in the individual is achieved by administering a polynucleotide cassette containing genes of interest that encode portions of the multimeric protein to the individual. The polynucleotide cassette may additionally contain one or more pro sequences, prepro sequences, cecropin prepro sequences, and/or cleavage site sequences.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to a method of enhancing the fertility and/or growth rate of animals, particularly avians, by administering to a bird a composition comprising a heterologous protein comprising inhibin protein, or a fragment thereof, and a carrier protein, in an acceptable carrier. The present invention also relates to a method of enhancing the fertility and/or growth rate of avians, by administering to a bird a composition comprising a fusion gene product comprising a gene encoded for the expression of alpha-subunit avian inhibin protein, or a fragment thereof, and a gene encoded for the expression of a carrier protein, in an acceptable carrier. An effective amount of the heterologous protein or fusion gene product is administered to an animal such that an immunological response occurs in the animal against the heterologous protein.

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.

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.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to a method of enhancing the production performance of avians, by administering to a bird a heterologous protein comprised of inhibin protein, or a fragment thereof, and a carrier protein. The present invention also relates to a method of enhancing the production performance of avians, by administering to a bird a fusion gene product comprising a gene encoded for the expression of alpha-subunit avian inhibin protein, or a fragment thereof, and a gene encoded for the expression of a carrier protein.
