Use of aprotinin as a carrier to produce a recombinant protein, polypeptide or peptide in algae

Abstract

Use of aprotinin as a carrier to produce a recombinant protein, polypeptide or peptide in algae The present invention relates to the use of aprotinin as a carrier to produce a recombinant protein, polypeptide or peptide in algae, in particular microalgae, wherein aprotinin and said recombinant protein, polypeptide or peptide are fused together to form a fusion protein. It also relates to a method to produce a recombinant protein, polypeptide or peptide in algae, wherein said method comprises genetic transformation of algae, in particular microalgae, with a recombinant nucleic acid sequence encoding a fusion protein, wherein said fusion protein comprises aprotinin and said recombinant protein, polypeptide or peptide. It further relates to a recombinant algae comprising a recombinant nucleic acid sequence encoding a fusion protein, wherein said fusion protein comprises aprotinin and a recombinant protein, polypeptide or peptide. The use of said recombinant algae, for producing said fusion protein is also contemplated.
