Abstract: | We have constructed and expressed recombinant chimeric soluble TGF-beta type II receptor fused with the Fc portion of human IgG1 (sTbetaRII-Fc) in NS0 mouse myeloma cells and isolated cell lines constitutively secreting very high levels of biologically active protein. The GS-NS0 expression system takes advantage of the strong human cytomegalovirus immediate early promoter expression vector and glutamine synthetase as a selectable marker. The recombinant chimeric receptor could be produced in high amounts and efficiently purified by one step chromatography on a protein A column. Biochemical studies revealed that recombinant sTbetaRII-Fc binds native TGF-beta1 and TGF-beta3 isoforms and neutralizes their activity in vitro. |
