Abstract:
Using the bovine alpha S1-casein gene, a genetic construct with an endostatin-coding fragment of the mouse collagen XVIII cDNA was designed to express endostatin in milk of transgenic animals. Several transgenic mice were obtained. The mice secreted endostatin in milk at 70-300 ng/microliter and transmitted this character to their progeny.

Industrial insulin production uses genetically engineered E. coli expressing a proinsulin gene controlled by a tryptophan promoter and containing a methionine linker for later cleavage. The cells also carry ampicillin resistance for selective growth. Seed cultures are stored at −80 °C and production begins by thawing a small amount to inoculate starter cultures, which are progressively scaled to a 50,000-L bioreactor. In the bioreactor, E. coli grow in nutrient-rich media under sterile, tightly...
