Production of Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor and Assessment of its Activity in Cell Viability

Background and purpose: Human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) is a polypeptide of 53 amino acids with various medical application such as wound healing. The purpose of this study was cloning, expression, and purification of recombinant human EGF (rhEGF) and assessment of its mitogenic effect on NIH 3T3 cells. Materials and methods: Subcloninig of hEGF was performed in to pET24a (+). Protein expression was done under standard conditions. According...
