β¦ Synopsis
Missense substitutions and processivity errors in the translation of heterologous proteins are expected to occur at higher frequencies than the corresponding errors of normal translation. The resulting error-containing products may overload chaperone systems. Likewise, there may be a risk of an immunogenic response to heterologous proteins introduced into vertebrates. Recent work has been carried out on the mechanisms by which such errors arise and on their occurrence in cloned, heterologous gene products.

Stable transformed insect cell lines have been used for producing many highly processed heterologous proteins. Current research has focused on development of new expression and selection systems, and enhancement of vector stability. Defining the variation of modification and processing capabilities
We describe a modification which can be carried out on the pET vector series that destroys the rop function in these vectors. The modified vectors have the following advantages : i) increased plasmid copy number, ii) augmented heterologous protein expression of the target gene, iii) elimination of p
## Abstract In this study, secretory processing of cellβsurface displayed Aga2p fusions to bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) and the single chain Fv (scFv) antibody fragment D1.3 are examined. BPTI is more efficiently processed than D1.3 both when secreted and surfaceβdisplayed, and D1.3 e
