Abstract:

Mammary gland bioreactor refers to the technology of importing foreign genes into animal genomes which express specifically in animal mammary gland, and using the function of synthesizing and secreting proteins of mammary glands to obtain recombinant proteins in the milk. Mammary gland bioreactor is regarded as a technological innovation for the production of medicinal protein and nutritional protein in the bio-pharmaceutical industry due to its advantages of high expression, low cost and synthesized protein being close to natural proteins in structure. However, due to the random integration of foreign genes and unstable expression of recombinant proteins, its application is largely limited. Based on the current development status of mammary gland bioreactor, this paper reviewed the optimization strategies of mammary gland bioreactor from three perspectives: using gene editing technology, screening suitable foreign gene integration sites and improving the regulatory sequence of exogenous proteins, so as to provide theoretical reference for improving the expression of recombinant protein produced by mammary gland bioreactor
