Abstract excerpt
We have constructed a yeast strain that has integrated into its chromosomal ribosomal RNA gene site two copies of Hepatitis B virus surface (HBS) antigen gene under the control of the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAP) promoter and terminator. The level of expression of HBS gene was low in the strain, but upon chemical and physical mutageneses, in combination with an...
