Popis: The continuously increasing demand for biomolecules, e.g. human proteins, for applications in human health care, is one of the main driving forces for the development of safe, large-scale production systems. One very promising approach is the production of biomolecules in the milk of transgenic cattle. By using nuclear transfer technology, transgenic cattle can be generated in a very safe and efficient manner, thereby offering a significant time reduction when compared to conventional breeding methods. As a result, that the transgenic cattle platform offers an efficient, safe and cost-effective method for producing large amounts of biopharmaceuticals, which is essential to the development of innovative health care products.
