Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to the production of recombinant proteins in mammals' milk. Particularly, this invention relates to an expression system comprising the mammal's casein promoter which when transgenically incorporated into a mammal permits the female species of that mammal to produce the desired recombinant protein in or along with its milk. This invention also relates to the transgenic mammal that produces the desired recombinant product in its milk.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
A process for the production and secretion into mammal's milk of an exogenous recombinate protein comprising the steps of: a. producing milk in a transgenic mammal characterized by an expression system comprising a casein promoter operatively linked to an exogenous DNA sequence coding for the recombinant protein through a DNA sequence coding for a signal peptide effective in secreting and maturing the recombinant protein in mammary tissue; b. collecting the milk; and c. isolating the exogenous recombinant protein from the milk.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
81 words
A process for the production and secretion into mammal's milk of an exogenous recombinate protein comprising the steps of: a. producing milk in a transgenic mammal characterized by an expression system comprising a casein promoter operatively linked to an exogenous DNA sequence coding for the recombinant protein through a DNA sequence coding for a signal peptide effective in secreting and maturing the recombinant protein in mammary tissue; b. collecting the milk; and c. isolating the exogenous recombinant protein from the milk.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said expression system also includes a 3' untranslated region downstream of the DNA sequence coding for the recombinant protein.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said expression system also includes a 5' untranslated region between said promoter and the DNA sequence coding for the signal peptide.
