  • Title: Expression and characteristic of synthetic human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) in transgenic tobacco plants.
    Author: Bai JY, Zeng L, Hu YL, Li YF, Lin ZP, Shang SC, Shi YS.
    Journal: Biotechnol Lett; 2007 Dec; 29(12):2007-12. PubMed ID: 17896082.
    Abstract:
    To improve the accumulation of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) in transgenic tobacco, a highly effective vector was constructed and transformed via Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The hEGF content in transgenic tobacco was up to 0.3% of the total soluble protein. Using the Vero E6 cell expansion assay and the MTT method for cell proliferation, hEGF produced by transgenic tobacco significantly stimulated Vero E6 cell expansion and proliferation, the same as commercial hEGF products.
