Abstract

Recombinant DNA constructs having an avian retroviral long terminal repeat (LTR) ligated to the bovine growth hormone gene, were co-transformed into a mammalian cell (mouse) culture in order to obtain a stable cell culture secreting large amounts of bovine growth hormone. The transformed mouse cells were encapsulated in hollow fibers and implanted into animals, thereby producing circulating bovine growth hormone.
