The present invention relates to methods for altering the fatty acid composition in milk or tissue fat directly derived from a milk producing ruminant The methods consist of administering to said milk producing ruminant a suitable amount of a chemical compound selected from the vitamin E family, or a structurally or functionally related compound or derivative thereof. At high doses, vitamin E influences ruminal biohydrogenation and allows the production of milk or tissue fat with a highly desirable fatty acid profile: high trans-11 C18:1, high cis-9, trans-11 C18:02 (CLA), low trans-10 C18:1. Methods are disclosed to obtain said desirable fatty acid profile, thereby improving the nutritional benefits to human health associated with CLA. Milk and tissue fat obtained by said methods are also disclosed. Dietary intakes of cis-9, trans-11 C18:2 CLA and trans-11 C18:1 fatty acids in milk or meat, or products thereof, produced in accordance with the present invention in ruminant animals, can be effective in preventing cancer in different sites, reduce risk of coronary heart disease and to enhance immune function. |

The invention provides recombinant procollagen chains having a natural collagen chain separated from one or two propeptides by one or two non-natural site-specific proteolytic agent (e.g., protease) recognition sites. A wide variety of propeptides and site-specific proteolytic agent recognition sites may be used: the selection of particular site-specific proteolytic agent/recognition site pairs is based on the conformation of the resulting procollagen, the availability of the site-specific proteolytic agent, the compatibility of the proteolysis with production of mature collagen, among other factors. Recombinant collagens chains are produced by contacting the subject recombinant procollagen chains with the appropriate site-specific proteolytic agents. Nucleic acids encoding the subject procollagen chains operably linked to transcription regulatory elements are used in vectors and cells for the production of recombinant collagen. Such collagen is used in tissue and cell cultureware and therapeutically, such as in biodegradable surgical materials and for tissue augmentation. |

Methods are also provided for producing transgenic non-human mammals having a desirable phenotype. The method comprises first methylating a transgene followed by introduction into fertilized oocytes. The oocytes are then cultured to form pre-implantation embryos. Thereafter, at least one cell is removed from each of the pre-implantation embryos and the DNA digested with a restriction endonuclease capable of cleaving the methylated transgene but incapable of cleaving the unmethylated form of the transgene. Those pre-implantation embryos which have integrated the transgene contain DNA which is resistant to cleavage by the restriction endonuclease in the region containing the transgene. |

Production of human procollagen or collagen in cells which ordinarily do not produce these molecules is effected by constructing expression systems compatible with mammary glands of non-human mammals. For example, expression systems can be microinjected into fertilized oocytes and reimplanted in foster mothers and carried to term in order to obtain transgenic non-human mammals capable of producing milk containing recombinant human procollagen or collagen. Human procollagen or collagen produced in this manner can be made of a single collagen type uncontaminated by other human or non-human collagens. |
