GENETISCHE KONSTRUKTION, DEREN PROTEINCODIERENDE DNA INTRONE ENTHALTEN UND FÜR PROTEIN PRODUKTION IN TRANSGENE TIERE KONSTRUIERT IST
摘要
Proteinaceous products can be produced by transgenic animals having genetic constructs integrated into their genome. The construct comprises a 5'-flanking sequence from a mammalian milk protein gene (such as beta-lactoglobulin) and DNA coding for a heterologous protein other than the milk protein (for example a serin protease such as alpha1-antitrypsin or a blood factor such as Factor VIII or IX). The protein-coding DNA comprises at least one, but not all, of the introns naturally occurring in a gene coding for the heterologous protein. The 5'-flanking sequence is sufficient to drive expression of the heterologous protein.
