PROCEDIMIENTO PARA LA PREPARACION DE UN PLASMIDO QUE CODIFICA PARA LA SECUENCIA DE AMINOACIDOS DEL INTERFERON DE LEUCO- CITOS HUMANOS.

摘要

Recombinant DNA technology is utilized in the production of interferon and there is provided a microbiologically produced polypeptide, all or part of which comprises the amino acid sequence of human interferon, especially leukocyte ( alpha ) interferon; a cDNA which codes for such a polypeptide; a plasmid especially plasmid pBR 322, which comprises the cDNA; and a microorganism, for example, E. Scherichia coli, especially E.coliK12 or E.coliX 1776, which comprises the genetic information required for the production of such a polypeptide. The cDNA is prepared using mRNA obtained from human leukocytes and/or cells of a human lymphoblastoid cell line.
