Abstract
Methods for making unclipped HIV env proteins are provided. According to the methods, a genetically engineered cell line comprising an nucleic acid sequence encoding an HIV env protein is cultured to produce unclipped HIV env protein, which is recovered from the cell culture.
Claims2
A method for producing unclipped HIV env which is greater than 50% free of clipped HIV env, comprising growing a mammalian cell transformed with DNA encoding unclipped HIV env and competent for replicating and expressing unclipped HIV env, said cell being grown in media with low serum, and recovering unclipped HIV env which is greater than 50% free of clipped HIV env.
