Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for producing medicine by using silkworms to express human epidermal growth factor (Epidermal growth Factor, EGF). Background technique
[0002] Epidermal growth factor (EGF) was accidentally discovered by Cohen in 1959 when studying nerve growth factor (NGF), and was isolated from mouse submandibular gland in 1962. In vivo and in vitro experiments have proved that it has the function of promoting proliferation of epithelial cells derived from various tissues. Human epidermal growth factor was first purified from human urine by Gregory et al. in 1975. Through research, it was found that it has the same biological activity as mouse EGF . The most potential use of EGF is in clinical application. EGF has the function of promoting epithelial regeneration, and can be used to promote the healing of surgical wounds and other wounds, such as skin grafts, skin abrasions, burns, erosion, etc.; to promote corneal epithelial rege...
