摘要:
The present invention relates to probiotic microorganisms producing chimeric human growth hormone for oral use and methods for preparing them. The invention provides probiotic Lactobacillus or yeast transformant expressing chimeric protein which is human growth hormone fused with Fc fragment of human IgG, in which the transformants are safely delivered into intestine though oral route. Also, the invention provides a chimeric protein-expressing vector which can induce transcytosis in intestine epithelial cells. Accordingly, the invention demonstrates that the chimeric protein for oral delivery system can be absorbed in intestine, and delivery of the chimeric protein by oral route using Lactobacillus has very excellent efficiency in vivo test in rats. Accordingly, the Lactobacillus of the present invention is an excellent deliverer of protein drugs.
