Method for producing TGF-beta, DNA and mRNA encoding TGF-beta, as well as replicable vectors comprising the DNA and host cells containing the vectors

摘要

Nucleic acid encoding TGF- beta has been isolated and cloned into vectors which are replicated in bacteria and expressed in eukaryotic cells. TGF- beta is recovered from transformed cultures for use in known therapeutic modalities. The labelled nucleic acid is useful in diagnosis.
