Lactogenesis Induction in Transgenic Virgin Pigs as a Model for Identifying Transgene Expression and Recombinant Protein Production

The porcine mammary gland can be used for the production of recombinant proteins by directing a transgene to the mammary gland with a milk protein gene promoter. In order to determine whether or not the protein will be expressed, the animals must be maintained at least through their first lactation...
