Abstract

The recombinant plasmids harboring a heterologous gene coding mouse endostatin were transfected and expressed stably in Trichoplusia ni Tn 5B1-4 cells and Bombyx mori BmN cells, respectively. Recombinant endostatin expressed in the stably transformed Tn 5B1-4 and BmN cells was secreted into the medium. BmN cells are relatively lower in maximum cell growth and recombinant endostatin production than Tn 5B 1-4 cells. Recombinant endostatin was also purified to homogeneity using a simple one-step ${Ni^2+}$ affinity fractionation method. Purified recombinant endostatin inhibited endothelial cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. The concentration at half-maximum inhibition $({ED_50})$ for recombinant endostatin was approximately 0.35 ${\mu}g$/ml.
