  • Title: Expression of erythroid differentiation factor (EDF) in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
    Author: Murata M, Onomichi K, Eto Y, Shibai H, Muramatsu M.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1988 Feb 29; 151(1):230-5. PubMed ID: 3348775.
    Abstract:
    Plasmid DNA containing EDF subunit cDNA and mouse dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) cDNA was transfected into CHO DHFR- cells by the calcium-phosphate method. DHFR positive transformants secreted recombinant EDF (r-EDF) constitutively in an active form and accumulated it in the conditioned medium. Furthermore, cells which were resistant to methotrexate (MTX : 0.5 microM) secreted r-EDF up to 1 microgram/ml. r-EDF was identical to natural EDF (n-EDF) produced by human acute monocytic leukemia cell line, THP-1, as regards its dimeric structure and a biological activity.
