Expression of human immunoglobulin E epsilon chain cDNA in E. coli.

RESUMO

Using the cDNA of human epsilon chain, three expression plasmids that code directly the constant portion of the epsilon chain (C epsilon 1-C epsilon 4, C epsilon 2-C epsilon 4 and C epsilon 3-C epsilon 4 domains) were constructed. These epsilon chain peptides were synthesized in E. coli under the control of the trp promoter-operator. The bacterially produced peptides have the antigenicity of human epsilon chain and gave the molecular weights equal to the values calculated from the amino acid sequence of the constructed plasmids.
