Full Description
Recombinant proteins, produced in cells or micro-organisms, play an important role in basic research, medical science and the biotechnology industry. Many foreign gene expression systems using mammalian cells, E. coli, insect cells, yeast and other organisms as hosts have been developed. Current focus in the field is on schizocsaccharomyces pombe as a host, as it is expected to be profitable for expressing foreign genes. This work describes the use of schizocsaccharomyces pombe in basic research and industrial applications.
