Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides novel compositions to transfect cells for production of growth hormone (GH). These novel compositions also are used to produce germline transgenic birds that can successfully pass the transgene encoding growth hormone to their offspring. These novel compositions include components of vectors such as a vector backbone, a novel promoter, and a gene of interest that encodes for GH, and the vectors comprising these components. In one embodiment these vectors are transposon-based vectors. The present invention also provides methods of making these compositions and methods of using these compositions for the production of GH in vitro and in vivo. In one embodiment the GH is human (h)GH.
