Common Sense for the Biochemist

The packing is starting to roll along. No involved posts tonight, just some required reading - I think I'm going to be concentrating a few posts on the lactoferrin protein, several companies seem to be developing their own version of it. I'll start off tonight with this story from Checkbiotech.org - Pharming presents Human Lactoferrin results at international conference. Pharming Group is a Dutch company who is specializing in the production of recombinant proteins in transgenic animals. This company announced in June a collaboration with AgResearch of New Zealand to develop the product mentioned above. This protein is also being developed for several plant expression systems, including Ventria's and Meristem Therapeutics'. I'll have more on them later.
