Abstract
Described are methods of targeting specific genes or DNA sequences encoding biologically active proteins to the mammary gland such that the DNA sequence is expressed in the mammary gland and the protein is secreted into the milk of the mammal. Also described is the production of transgenic nonhuman mammals whose germ line comprises a DNA gene complex containing a casein promoter, a casein enhancer, a DNA sequence which encodes a signal peptide and a DNA sequence encoding a biologically active protein. The milk containing the biologically active protein or the biologically active protein itself can be used in the making of diary products.
