ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method of producing spider dragline and/or flagelliform proteins. The invention is further directed to a method of producing spider threads and to a dragline/flagelliform protein or dragline/flagelliform protein thread produced by these methods. The invention further provides the use of these proteins/threads in the field of biotechnology and/or medicine, in particular in the manufacture of wound closure or coverage systems, suture materials and in the manufacture of replacement materials, preferably artificial cartilage or tendon materials.
