title: Expression of the human interferon-beta gene cloned in phage M13 mp7.
abstract: The single-stranded DNA phage, M13 mp7 was used in the construction of an expression vector containing the coding sequence for mature interferon-beta (IFN-beta). Two clones expressed a fused polypeptide showing the biological and physicochemical properties of IFN-beta, despite the fact that the N-terminal amino acid sequence had been changed; 10(6) I.U./l of culture were produced with a molecular weight of 20 000.
