Abstract excerpt
To analyse the structure-function relationship of tumour necrosis factor (TNF), a set of in-frame chimeric genes was constructed by coupling appropriate segments of the human and mouse TNF coding regions. Under control of the bacteriophage lambda inducible PL promoter high level expression of these chimeric genes was obtained in Escherichia coli. Although both human and mouse TNF were produced in E. coli as...
