RECOMBINANT PRODUCTION OF HYDROPHOBIC PEPTIDES AND FUSION PROTEINS FOR USE IN PRODUCING SAME

摘要

Described are a novel method and fusion proteins suitable for the production and purification of hydrophobic peptides, hi particular, authentic and highly purified preparation of hydrophobic peptides such as beta-amyloid peptide, the use of those peptides in imaging techniques as well as tests for screening amyloid toxicity-inhibiting drugs using said beta-amyloid peptide are described.
