Abstract excerpt
The biological function of the 20 C-terminal amino acids of human interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) was examined by recombinant DNA methodology. Six truncated IFN-gamma analogues were produced by modification of the 3' end of the coding sequence of the cloned gene, insertion into a vector with the trc promoter and expression of the recombinant IFN-gamma analogue genes in Escherichia coli strain JM 105. The IFN-gamma...
