A process for the heterotrophic or predominantly heterotrophic production of whole-celled or extracted microbial products with a high concentration of omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids, producible in an aerobic culture under controlled conditions using biologically pure cultures of heterotrophic single-celled fungi microorganisms of the order Thraustochytriales. The harvested whole-cell microbial product can be added to processed foods as a nutritional supplement, or to fish and animal feeds to enhance the omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid content of products produced from these animals. The lipids containing these fatty acids can also be extracted and used in nutritional, pharmaceutical and industrial applications. |

Transgenes for producing recombinant polypeptides transgenic bovine species. A transgene for producing recombinant polypeptides in the milk of transgenic bovine species comprises at least one expression regulation sequence, a secretory DNA sequence encoding a secretory signal sequence which is functional in mammary secretory cells of the bovine species and a recombinant DNA sequence encoding the recombinant polypeptide. Also included are methods for producing transgenic bovine species. The method includes introducing the above transgene into an embryonal target cell of a bovine species, transplanting the transgenic embryonic target cell formed thereby into a recipient bovine parent and identifying at least one female offspring which is capable of producing the recombinant polypeptide in its milk. The invention also includes transgenic bovine species capable of producing recombinant polypeptides in transgenic milk as well as the milk from such transgenic bovine species and food formulations containing one or more recombinant polypeptide. 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. |

An immune suppressive product prepared by injecting an allergen or a mixture of allergens into the body of milk-producing species. Said product being the milk or a polypeptide subfraction of milk obtained from the allergen treated host. The immune suppressive product(s) is milk and or the polypeptide fractions contained therein, which is ostensively free of the intact allergen or allergens used for the treatment of the host. The immune suppressive factor(s) being a subfraction of the allergen used for the treatment. A method of preparing immune suppressive polypeptides from intact allergens, which involves injection of the specific intact allergens into a milk-producing species, collecting the immune suppressive polypeptide fractions of the intact allergens from the milk of the treated host. The immune suppressive milk containing said polypeptide fractions, and/or the polypeptide fractions obtained from said milk, are nonreactive in animals and humans as allergens. Said factor(s), however, are highly effective in preventing or alleviating allergic reactions. |

The invention relates to the milk of a transgenic non-human mammal. The milk is characterized in that it contains heterologous components produced as the secondary gene products of a heterologous gene contained in the genome of the transgenic non-human mammal. The heterologous gene encodes a heterologous catalytic entity such as a human enzyme selected from the group consisting of glycosyltransferases, phosphorylases, hydroxylases, peptidases and sulfotransferases. Especially useful in the practice of the invention are human glycosyltransferases. The desired heterologous components include oligosaccahrides, glycoconjugates. Specifically exemplified, is the production of 2'-fucosyl-lactose in the milk of transgenic mice which contain and express a transgene encoding .alpha.-1,2-fucosyltransferase operatively linked to a mammary gland specific promoter. The oligosaccahrides and glycoconjugates may be isolated from the milk of the transgenic mammals and used in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, diagnostic kits, nutritional products and the like. The whole transgenic milk may also be used to formulate nutritional products that provide special advantages. The transgenic milk may also be used in the production of specialized enteral nutritional products. |

The complete structure of human milk BAL cDNA is disclosed. The nucleotide sequences of the cDNA inserts of two clones overlap and together contain 2951 base pairs of BAL cDNA which codes for an open reading frame of 742 amino acid residues between initiation and termination codons. There is a putative signal sequence of 20 residues which is followed by a 61-amino-terminal sequence of BAL. The cDNA sequence also contains a 678-base 5'-untranslated sequence, a 97-base 3'-untranslated region, and a 14-base poly(A) tail. The deduced BAL protein structure contains in the carboxyl-terminal region fourteen repeating unis of 11 amino acids each. The repeating units have the basic structure of Pro-Val-Pro-Pro-Thr-Gly-Asp-Ser-Gly-Ala-Pro-, with only minor substitutions. The cDNA is useful for expression of protein, study of structure, function and the effect of modification or deletion or addition of amino acids, including entire repeating units, and as probes for studies involving BAL or related lipases, including rat pancreatic lysophospholipase, cholinesterase, and acetylcholinesterase. |

The phosphorus-reduced cow milk of the invention contains a reduced proportion of phosphorus of 1.0 g to 2.0 g per 100 g of protein in the cow milk, the weight ratio of phosphorus to calcium being 1:2, nearly the same as that of human milk. The ratio is most adequate for calcium absorption and is suitable as food for kidney-disease patients with reduced calcium-absorbing function, persons of old age and hyperphosphatemia patients. Moreover, the phosphorus-reduced cow milk of the invention in which only phosphorus component is selectively removed and none of other component is lost maintains the value of cow milk as perfect food. |

Infant foods suitable for use in the feeding of low birthweight infants, more especially preterm infants, are disclosed. The foods contain a relatively high level of vitamin B.sub.2 and may be prepared so as to have an opacity greater than that of human breast milk leading to less susceptibility of the vitamin B.sub.2 to breakdown by UV-light when used for the feeding of low birthweight infants who are receiving phototherapy. Preferred infant foods according to the invention also have high contents of vitamin B.sub.6, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, folic acid, copper and zinc while containing no added iron. Another aspect of the invention is the inclusion of taurine and carnitine. One unexpected property of the infant foods according to the invention with high vitamin content is that their use has been found to reduce the incidence of hyperbilirubinaemia in low birthweight infants. |
