     Expression of the transgene was found in the mammary gland of lactating founder transgenic mice 26 and 28: the hybrid BLG-hIFN-g mRNA was detected in the mammary gland tissue (Fig. 3) and an interferonic activity of about 1,800 IU/ml was observed in the milk samples (Table I), which corresponds to the hIFN-g concentration of about 20 ng/ml[.]
