Va. Efimov et al., ARTIFICIAL GENE, BIOSYNTHESIS, AND PROPER TIES OF HUMAN-IMMUNOGLOBULIN G1 FC FRAGMENT, Bioorganiceskaa himia, 22(3), 1996, pp. 168-174
Chemicoenzymatic synthesis and cloning of a gene encoding the Fc domai
n of human immunoglobulin G1 were carried out. The artificial gene was
expressed in Escherichia coli cells in plasmid vectors under control
of a late T7 promoter. The recombinant protein isolated from the bacte
rial cells is capable of forming dimers and binding protein A from Sta
phylococcus aureus.
