Abstract
The invention provides, in part, methods for the production of proteins in a transgenic non-human mammal, wherein the proteins are transported from the blood to the mammary gland for secretion in milk. The transport of the protein to the mammary gland and/or milk is facilitated by binding to a transport receptor in the mammary gland.
