Abstract: | A sample of the human cDNA was used to amplify the segment encoding biosynthesis of chymotrypsin-like protease of kallikrein-7 and its cloning into the expressing plasmid pET23a(+).Biosynthesis of KLK-7 in transformed E. coil BL21(DE3) cells was accompanied by formation of insoluble inclusion bodies. The recombinant KLK-7 was extracted from the inclusion bodies using 7 M urea in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol. The extracted recombinant KLK-7 was purified using methods of metal-chelate and ion-exchange chromatography, converted into a soluble form, and used for preparing monospecific antiserum. |
