title: [Prokaryotic expressed trichosanthin and other two proteins have anti-fungal activity in vitro].
abstract: DNAs encoding Trichosanthin, tobacco class I Chitinase and tobacco class I beta-1, 3-Glucanase were expressed in E. coli, respectively. The expression products were assayed for their anti-fungal activity. All of three kinds of proteins show anti-fungal activity. When two of them combined, this activity was enhanced greatly. When three of them combined, the stronger anti-fungal activity was observed.
