Thanks to the microbiological and biotechnological methods developed and used by us, our specialists in a relatively short time are able to obtain the necessary components for the construction of biological preparations for various purposes with desired properties.
Bacteria for the production of interferon
Interferons are first synthesized in the cell as precursors containing a signal peptide at the N-terminus of the polypeptide chain, which is then cleaved and, as a result, a mature interferon is formed that has full biological activity.
Bacteria for somatropin production
Human growth hormone (somatotropin) was obtained from human pituitary, each pituitary gland contains no more than 4 mg. At the same time, it takes about 7 mg of somatotropin per week to treat one child suffering from dwarfism; the treatment should last for several years. With the use of the E. coli genetically inhibited strain, up to 100 mg of growth hormone per liter of culture medium is currently being obtained.
Insulin Production Bacteria
The genetic modification in this case is that the human protein (insulin) gene is introduced into the cell. This technology makes it possible to isolate proteins not from donor blood, but from GM organisms, which reduces the risk of infection of drugs and increases the purity of the isolated proteins.
Bacteria to protect the environment
A significant role in environmental protection can be played by genetically modified microorganisms involved in the treatment of wastewater, waste and industrial wastes. And the creation of new forms of actinomycetes can be the key to the restoration of waste lands, which remain after the development of mineral resources.
