The organisation of production of genetically-engineered proteins in yeast.
The use of a variety of genetic-engineering techniques to introduce foreign DNA into living yeast cells has resulted in the production in these cells of the corresponding proteins. These include enzymes, antibodies, vaccines, anti-viral agents, and hormones. This article discusses the techniques of genetic engineering in yeast and suggests the lines of future progress in the economic production of novel proteins for use in therapy.
