摘要:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide methods for producing recombinant polyclonal immunoglobulins using recombinant DNA techniques, which provides constant supply of immunoglobulin preparations with minimum risk of infection. A method of the present invention comprises the following steps: (1) isolating a plurality of types of genes from cDNAs derived from tissues or cells expressing immunoglobulins, said genes encoding a plurality of types of polypeptides respectively, and said polypeptides containing a plurality of types of immunoglobulin variable regions respectively, and preparing mixture of the genes; (2) preparing a plurality of types of recombinant vectors into which a plurality of types of genes are introduced respectively by contacting said mixture of the genes with vectors, and preparing mixture of the recombinant vectors; (3) preparing a plurality of types of transformants into which a plurality of types of recombinant vectors are introduced respectively by contacting said mixture of the recombinant vectors with host cells, and preparing mixture of the transformants; and (4) culturing said mixture of the transformants, and obtaining mixture of polypeptides from the transformants culture, wherein said polypeptides contain a plurality of types of immunoglobulin variable regions respectively.

The present invention provides a chaperonin-target protein complex and a method of producing the same, and a method of stabilizing the target protein, a method of immobilizing the target protein, a method of analyzing the structure of the target protein, a sustained-release formulation, and a method of producing an antibody against the target protein. The chaperonin-target protein complex in the present invention includes a fusion protein having a chaperonin subunit and an affinity tag linked to the chaperonin subunit via a peptide bond and a target protein for which the affinity tag shows a specific affinity, wherein the target protein is bound to the affinity tag by means of the specific affinity, thereby forming a chaperonin ring structure consisting of a plurality of chaperonin subunits. The chaperonin-target protein in the present invention stabilizes the target protein and surely immobilize on a carrier without causing any change in its stereostructure.

This invention provides a recombinant protein expression system using a host and cell-free translation system, and is capable of universally expressing a large amount of any protein as soluble protein, while preventing toxicity in hosts, formation of inclusion bodies, and decomposition with proteases. Such may be achieved by expressing the desired protein as a fusion protein with chaperonins, such as about 60 kDa molecular chaperones, 60 kDa heat shock proteins, or thermosomes, and accommodating the desired protein inside of a stereostructure of a chaperonin. The present invention provides a process for producing a protein, which comprises transcribing and translating a gene containing a gene encoding the linked chaperonin subunits and a gene encoding a desired protein thereby synthesizing a fusion protein having the desired protein linked via a peptide linkage to the linked chaperonin subunits.
摘要:
It is intended to provide techniques whereby a target protein is efficiently obtained as a normal protein even in the case of a protein which can be hardly expressed by usual recombinant DNA techniques. A fusion protein composed of a molecular chaperone, an intervening protein having an activity of cleaving a peptide bond, and a target protein is prepared, from which fusion protein the target protein is cleaved by the action of the intervening protein having the activity of cleaving a peptide bond. Examples of the intervening protein having the activity of cleaving a peptide bond include an intein and a protein consisting of a partial sequence of the intein.
