ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns the production of the human fibroblast interferon, IFN-.beta.1 by cells of mammalian origin which are capable of constitutively expressing a DNA sequence encoding for IFN-.beta.1, producing the IFN and secreting it into the surrounding culture media.
A specific embodiment of the invention comprises a methotrexate resistant chinese hamster ovary cell containing one or more pSVEIF molecules. The pSVEIF molecule contains a DNA sequence encoding for human INF-.beta.1 fused about 60 base pairs downstream from SV40 early start gene. The cell is capable of constitutively expressing the sequence encoding IFN-.beta.1, producing IFN-.beta.1 glycoprotein and secreting it into the surrounding medium.
The invention also concerns methods of producing IFN-.beta. by culturing and growing the cells of the invention, and isolating and purifying the IFN-.beta.1 product.
