Expression of biologically active human C-reactive protein in escherichia coli

摘要

The present invention relates to a plasmid possessing the restriction enzyme map shown in FIG. 1 , and this plasmid is largely characterized in that the kil gene is linked downstream from the human CRP (C-reactive protein) gene. Using this plasmid, it is possible to produce large amounts of human CRP by extracellular secretion.
