PROMOTER DERIVED FROM HUMAN GENE

摘要

The invention relates to transformed mammalian host cells in which the foreign protein secretion capacity has been enhanced by using a foreign gene expression vector having a promoter derived from a human gene, and to a method for producing a foreign protein using the cells. Provided is a step for accelerating the production of a foreign protein that serves as a proteinaceous drug in cultured mammalian cells or other such host cells. Provided is a promoter derived from a human gene having stronger promoter activity than a cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter in cultured mammalian cells or other such host cells.
