    therapeutic proteins through transgenic animal technology. ATryn®

    GTC´s recombinant form of human

    antithrombin, is approved by the European Commission for use in

    patients with hereditary antithrombin deficiency undergoing surgical

    procedures. This was the first approval anywhere in the world of a

    therapeutic protein produced from a transgenic animal. GTC´s

    transgenic production platform is particularly well suited to

    enabling cost effective development of proteins that are difficult

    to express in traditional recombinant production systems as well as

    those that are required in large volumes at a competitive cost.
