About GTC Biotherapeutics
GTC Biotherapeutics develops, produces, and commercializes therapeutic proteins through transgenic animal technology. GTC obtained the first approval anywhere in the world for a transgenically produced protein when ATrynŽ, a recombinant form of human antithrombin, was approved by the European Commission for use in patients with hereditary antithrombin deficiency undergoing surgical procedures. GTC's intellectual property includes a patent in the United States through 2021 for the production of any therapeutic protein in the milk of any transgenic mammal. GTC's transgenic production platform is particularly well suited to enabling cost effective development of proteins that are difficult to express in traditional recombinant production systems as well as those that are required in large volumes. Additional information is available on the GTC web site, http://www.gtc-bio.com.
