Sh. Kang et al., HIGH-LEVEL EXPRESSION AND SIMPLE PURIFICATION OF RECOMBINANT HUMAN GRANULOCYTE-COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR IN ESCHERICHIA-COLI, Biotechnology letters, 17(7), 1995, pp. 687-692
A human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (hG-CSF) gene was synthe
sized and inserted into a trp expression vector for overexpression in
E. coli. A strong expression vector was constructed, and a simple puri
fication procedure including in vitro refolding was estabilished. The
final productivity of hG-CSF was 500 similar to 600mg per l culture, a
nd the purified hG-CSF showed the proliferation of neutrophils in vivo
assays.
