Transgenic animals offer particularly attractive possibilities to prepare recombinant pharmaceutical proteins. Ruminants are potentially the most appropriate species to produce large amount of proteins but they need cloning or lentiviral vectors to integrate foreign genes, their reproduction is relatively slow, they do not glycosylate proteins as well as rabbits and pigs and they are sensitive to prion diseases (Tables 3 and 4) . The recombinant protein ATryn (human antithrombinIII) produced in goat milk contains less sialic acid than its native counterpart is a case in point [29] . The two major animal systems to produce pharmaceutical proteins in milk and egg white have recently been technically improved and their use as an essential source of new medicaments has become very likely. ./cache/cord-314039-qkrmxvaj.txt ./txt/cord-314039-qkrmxvaj.txt
