J. Paulsen et al., LARGE-SCALE PREPARATION AND BIOLOGICAL-ACTIVITY OF RECOMBINANT HUMAN PARATHYROID-HORMONE, Journal of biotechnology, 39(2), 1995, pp. 129-136
Human parathyroid hormone (hPTH) has been bacterially expressed in bio
reactors as cro-beta-galactosidase-hPTH fusion protein. We have develo
ped a large-scale purification scheme that exploits the pH-dependent d
ifferential solubility of hPTH and a two-step chromatographic procedur
e. We demonstrate that in a number of assay systems, the recombinant m
aterial obtained by this procedure is biologically active.
