摘要:
It is intended to provide a foreign protein free from any expression inducer and a process for producing the same. Namely, a process for producing a foreign protein involving the step of proliferating a recombinant Escherichia coli, which expresses the foreign protein under the control by a promoter capable of inducing the expression due to the temperature shift, by arbitrarily culturing at a low temperature and then culturing the strain at a high temperature in the absence of an expression inducer to thereby allow the expression of the foreign protein, or the step of culturing the above Escherichia coli strain at a high temperature and thus effecting the proliferation of the cells and the expression of the foreign protein at the same time; and a foreign protein free from any expression inducer which is obtained by this process. Particular examples of such foreign proteins include main tick allergens, Actinogacillus pleuropneumoniae-origin secretory macrophage toxin and a protective antigen against Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae-infection.
摘要:
A heterologous protein free from an inducer and a method for producing said protein are provided. A method for producing a heterologous protein which comprises the step of optionally culturing at low temperature recombinant E. coli cells expressing a heterologous protein under control of a promoter capable of inducing expression through temperature shift and then culturing at high temperature said recombinant E. coli cells in the absence of an inducer to thereby allow for expression of said heterologous protein, or the step of culturing at high temperature said recombinant E. coli cells to thereby simultaneously allow for both cell proliferation and expression of said heterologous protein, and the heterologous protein obtained by said method that is free from an inducer. Such heterologous protein may include a major mite allergen, a secretary macrophage toxin from Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and a surface protective antigen (SpaA) of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae.
