GTC Biotherapeutics (GTCB: Nasdaq) of Framingham, Mass. has created this special goat protein, as well as "65" other therapeutic proteins in the milk of its transgenic goats and cows. Several other small companies are in hot pursuit. Of late, the pharmaceutical industry has become one of the most price-sensitive.
www.pennysleuth.com/issues/04.26.06.htmlATryn, manufactured by inserting a human gene for protein into a goat's egg
alongside a beta-caseine promoter, uses a therapeutic protein derived from
the milk of a transgenic goat. When extracted from the milk, the transgenic
protein is indistinguishable from the antithrombin produced in healthy
humans. This is not the only transgenic pharmaceutical under development.
Biotheraptuetics, the Framingham, Mass., firm responsible for producing
ATryn, .....has 65 other transgenic drugs in research and development.....
