After gene co-amplification, the product level could reach 2-3 μg/106 cells/24 h in the presence of 5×10-6 mol/ L MTX, and the levels can be further raised to 3. 5-4 μg/106 cells/24 h by PMA superinduction. The copy number of Pro-UK cDNA in the genomes of host cells is about 200-300 copies/cell. The Western blot analysis shows that the recombinant Pro-UK has similar molecular weight to its natural counterpart, and also the amidolytic activity of the product is determined by S-2444 assay.展开更多
