title: Production and characterisation of ovine GM-CSF expressed in mammalian and bacterial cells.
abstract: A cDNA encoding ovine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was isolated and two forms of recombinant ovine GM-CSF were produced. A glycosylated form was produced in mammalian cells infected with a recombinant vaccinia virus encoding ovine GM-CSF. Recombinant ovine GM-CSF was also produced in Escherichia coli and purified by affinity chromatography. Both forms of the protein were detected by ovine GM-CSF-specific monoclonal antibodies, and exhibited activity on ovine bone marrow haemopoetic progenitor cells.
