company, to develop the chickens. The deal will combine the nuclear transfer technology used to make Dolly with Viragen's expertise in developing anti-cancer proteins. Drug-filled eggs are only the latest in a series of projects known as "Pharming," in which human pharmaceuticals are produced in plants and animals through genetic engineering. The first transgenic "super mice" were created in 1982, and by 1987 scientists had developed mice that produce a human drug, tPA, to treat blood clots.Since then, pharming projects have broadened to include tobacco plants that could help prevent cervical cancer, bananas that could combat hepatitis B and diphtheria and roosters that carry genes to prevent hepatitis. Scientists have also worked to engineers cows sheep, goats and rabbits so they produce milk that contains proteins to be used against HIV, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease and osteoporosis.
