process for preparing a human epo-producing cell, process for preparing human epo, DNA construction for endogenous epo gene activation, as well as plasmid.

摘要

The invention concerns human cells which, owing to the activation of the endogenous human erythropoietin gene, can produce erythropoietin (EPO) in sufficient quantities and degree of purity to allow human EPO to be economically produced as a pharmaceutical preparation. The invention also concerns a process for producing such human EPO-producing cells, DNA-constructs for activating the endogenous EPO gene in human cells and a process for the large-scale production of EPO in human cells.
