Abstract
Disclosed are novel hybrid fusion proteins comprising at their amino terminus, bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein or a biologically active fragment thereof and, at their carboxy terminus, at least one immunoglobulin heavy chain constant domain useful in treating bacterial infection. Also disclosed are DNA sequences encoding such proteins, recombinant methods for production of the proteins, and pharmaceutical preparations containing the recombinant products.
Claims1
A method for the production of a positively charged protein, comprising the following steps in sequence:
- incorporating a particulate cation exchange material into a cell culture under conditions which permit the positively charged protein to reversibly bind to said cation exchange material;
- separating said cation exchange material having positively charged protein bound thereto from said cell culture;
- and
- isolating said positively charged protein from said cation exchange material.
