MAMMALIAN EXPRESSION VECTOR WITH A HIGHLY EFFICIENT SECRETORY SIGNAL SEQUENCE

摘要

The present invention relates to a mammalian cell based expression and secretion system and the expression and secretion of recombinant proteins by using secretory signal peptides. The present invention also relates to an expression cassette useful for the secretion of a heterologous gene from a mammalian cell, in particular a CHO cell. The present invention is also directed to a method of secreting a heterologous protein from mammalian cells such as CHO cells.
