Alteration of the quality of milk by expression of sheep beta-lactoglobulin in transgenic mice.

Milk contains a large amount of protein, most of which consists of a few major species synthesized in the mammary gland. The genes encoding these proteins are single-copy, and expressed during pregnancy and lactation. Although beta-lactoglobulin ( BLG) is the major protein in the whey of ruminants, it is not present in rodent milk. We have generated transgenic mice carrying the sheep BLG gene, and show that in such mice, BLG is specifically and abundantly expressed in the mammary gland during lactation. This results in a remarkable alteration of milk composition. These findings suggest that the manipulation of milk composition by gene transfer has considerable potential for the improvement of dairy animals.[1]
