Specific Protein from E.coli
Introduction
A technique for producing a selected
protein using E. coli bacteria has been developed by
Takara Shuzo. The technique, developed in cooperation
with the University of Medicine and Dentistry, NJ involves
the production of a specific protein at a low temperature
of 10-15 oC. The new approach raises the production
efficiency by around 200 times compared with conventional
methods and makes the refining process unnecessary.
The distiller, now diversifying into the field of genome
research, plans to license the technique to pharmaceuticals
makers and others at others at home and abroad. The
domestic market for proteins produced through gene manipulation
for medical and other applications is estimated to be
worth US $ 2.5 billion/year.
