Method of large-scale production and method of testing of the biological activity of a substance from soybean

摘要

The lunasin peptide has been shown to exhibit inhibitory effects against malignant transformation of cells induced by chemical carcinogens and viral oncogenes. The present invention relates to a method for large-scale production of lunasin using recombinant DNA technology. The invention also includes a method for a rapid, iin vitro/i transformation assay to detect and quantify the biological activity of this cancer preventive peptide.
