Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0168827A1] A process for the production of physiologically-active human interferon alpha from genetically engineered yeast, <i>Pichia pastoris</i>, comprising digesting, with an enzyme to produce a linearized plasmid, a plasmid having a promoter and operationally linked to a human interferon alpha gene in the absence of a fusion region; transforming <i>Pichia pastoris</i> cells with the linearized plasmid by homologous recombination to form <i>Pichia pastoris</i> clones; screening the <i>Pichia pastoris</i> clones for high interferon alpha expression to find a high interferon-yielding <i>Pichia pastoris</i> clone; growing the high interferon-yielding <i>Pichia pastoris</i> clone; and purifying physiologically-active human interferon alpha protein from the high interferon-yielding <i>Pichia pastoris</i> clones.
