Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, in particular to a porcine epidermal growth factor gene, and also relates to an expression vector constructed by the gene and a transformant thereof. Background technique
[0002] Epidermal growth factor is a protein that Cohen (1962) isolated from the submandibular gland of male mice in the 1960s, which can make the eyelids of newborn mice open early and the teeth erupt early. Later, human epidermal growth factor was isolated from human urine in 1975. Human and mouse epidermal growth factor can stimulate the proliferation of epidermal and endothelial cells, and can be used to treat burns, corneal trauma, gastrointestinal ulcers, etc. In 1991, the porcine epidermal growth factor gene was cloned and expressed in yeast. It was found that the expressed porcine epidermal growth factor could promote the DNA synthesis of Kunming mouse 3T3 cells (Pascall JC, Jones DS, Doel SM, Clements JM, Hunter M, ...
