SYNTHETIC PLASMID TRANSFORMANT, FELINE INTERFERON GENE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING FELINE INTERFERON

摘要

A synthetic plasmid in which DNA encoding protein ofa feline interferon is integrated, a transformant obtainableby the transformation of a host cell by the use of thesynthetic plasmid and a feline interferon having a biologicalactivity given by a protein carrying a specific amino acidsequence, a feline interferon gene encoding the felineinterferon, a feline interferon precursor comprised of acleavable peptide or a signal peptide being linked to the Nterminal of the feline interferon, a feline interferonprecursor gene encoding the feline interferon precursor and amethod for producing the feline interferon, which areapplied to the mass production of a feline interferon to beused as a remedy for feline viral disease and tumor.
