Zusammenfassung:Methods and processes for raising the concentration of a first class of immunoglobulin relative to at least a second class of immunoglobulin in a compartment of the body of a non-human animal or the progeny thereof, as well as the animals produced by such methods and processes. Such methods and processes provide for the collection of antibodies produced by mucosal surfaces of the animal. Preferably, the production is in the mammary gland. Antibodies can be collected from the milk of the animal. Antibodies may be used for medical and/or nutritional purposes.
