title: Preparation of raf-oncogene-specific antiserum with raf protein produced in E. coli.
abstract: In this report we describe the expression of v-raf protein in E. coli using a tryptophan-promoter-driven expression vector and its immunological characterization by anti-peptide sera. The purified recombinant protein was used to produce raf-specific antibodies which are suitable for studying v-raf and c-raf proteins in vitro and in vivo in a variety of species ranging from mouse to man.
