A GENETIC ENGINEERING PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF HUMAN INTERLEUKIN-2 AND MEANS FOR CARRYING OUT THIS PROCESS

摘要

A synthetic DNA sequence can be used to obtain human interleukin-2 in a genetic engineering process. The gene is advantageously synthesised in the form of a plurality of fragments which are ligated enzymatically to give larger part-sequences which are incorporated into hybrid plasmids and amplified in host organisms. The part-sequences are reisolated and then combined to give the complete gene and incorporated into a hybrid plasmid, and the latter is expressed in a host organism.
