NOVEL METHODS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF GELATIN AND FULL-LENGTH TRIPLE HELICAL COLLAGEN RECOMBINANT CELLS

摘要

Methods are disclosed for simplified recombinant production of fibrillar collagens. DNAs encoding fibrillar collagen monomers lacking the N propeptide, the C propeptide, or both propeptides are introduced into recombinant host cells and expressed. Trimeric collagen is recovered from the recombinant host cells.
