Yeah but your way would result in milk contaminated with digestive juices, and how much of your yield is mouse saliva? It also would require the slaughter of lots of mices. If they wanted big yields they would use a bigger animal. They use mice because they are small, mature quickly and produce sufficient protein to test to see if you've got the gene in and expressing properly. If it works in a mouse then you clone it up into larger animals for larger quantities.


I'm not pulling the hit back up, but R. Ashman was some Univ. Researcher who was asking for info on a Mouse Research Chat thread on procedures for milking mice. Probably a grad student or something. Pull it up yourself using Excite and the keywords: Mouse Milking

Maybe you would like to bet that beer on how GZTC does it? I say they directly milk the mouse by hand or vacuum. I drink either Oatmeal Stouts or good microbrewery Stouts or BarleyWine Ales. I'd do a beer bet by mail (or live if you're local to me), one clear advantage that snail mail has over email is that the beer just doesn't flow through the computer properly, it always seems to make the keyboard and hard drive screw up. How about it Robert, put your beer where your theory is??? or put it to rest!!!
