Abstract
The expression of proteins which do not express well on their own can be enhanced by linking them to human serum albumin (HSA) or antibody crystallizable fragment (Fc). The constructs shown here are designed to secrete the proteins after transient transfection of mammalian cell lines. The fusion partners are appended to the N-terminus of the proteins and contain a linker designed to be proteolytically cleaved. Transient transfection and purification protocols are provided as well as experimental results with five interleukins.

Artificial Intelligence in Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that analyzes and explores biological data. This field combines biology and information system. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has attracted great attention as it tries to replicate human intelligence. It has become common technology for analyzing and solving complex data and problems and encompasses sub-fields of machine ...read more
