DcFOREST, Wis. ABS Global Inc. (ABS), a world pro vider of bovine reproductive ser vices and technologies, recently introduced a healthy, 6-month-old bull calf named “Gene” produced from its proprietary cloning technology. ABS also announced the forma tion of Infigen Inc., to commer cialize applications of cloning technologies in the cattle breeding, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and xenotransplantation fields. Infigen’s scientific break through advances the prospects for commercializing cattle cloning technologies. The tech nology provides an unlimited source of genetic material to cost effectively produce large numbers of cloned cattle. Infigen believes its cloning process is significantly Two-Year-Old Holstein Tops Carroll Dairy Show (Continued from Page A 23) No reserve was named in the Guernsey show, and neither was a best bred and owned. The grand champion Jersey female was the senior champion Ist place 4 year old Valley Teir Hermitage Fresca, shown by Ash ley Burdette of Mt. Airy. Fresca also won the production award for high protein breed 4 year olds, and was total performance cow for the protein breeds.

Birth Of Cloned Calf Announced more efficient than other process es previously announced and that it has substantial commercial applications. “We can make an unlimited number of cells, freeze them for any amount of time, then thaw them and make identical animals possessing a desired trait,” explained Dr. Michael D. Bishop, vice president of research for Infi gen. “Cells from cattle containing unique, favorable traits can be stored indefinitely, essentially preserving them for the future.” ABS has been developing its cattle cloning technology for more than 10 years and has an accom plished research group with exper tise in cloning and related cellular science applications. ‘The birth of ‘Gene’ and the creation of Infigen enables ABS to Best bred and owned Jersey and the winner of the production award for 3 year old protein breeds was Wilkin Judge Gretch-' en Gale shown by Dan Null of Taneytown.

In pharmaceutical applications, for example, recombinant proteins will be produced transgenically by inserting into the genetic material of an animal a foreign gene that directs the production of a desired protein in the milk of a lactating cow. With Infigen’s proprietary technology, that transgenic animal will be cloned to produce herds of cows with the ability to produce large quantities of the transgenic product. “Infigen’s objective is to be the low-cost producer of valuable transgenic products by most NeMalne Champion heifer; Kelly Myers.
