Abstract:Based on observations indicating that γ-carboxylase enzyme has lesser affinity for propeptide of protein C (PC) and a higher net charge of γ-carboxylase region in PC propeptide, expression of recombinant chimeric Factor IX (FIX) equipped with PC propeptide was studied. The prepropeptide of FIX was replaced with PC by SOEing PCR and after cloning, recombinant pMT-prepro PC/FIX were transfected into the insect Drosophila S2 cells. The expression and activity of the active hFIX were analyzed by performing ELISA a… Show more
