✦ Synopsis


Recombinant proteins that have survived the challenges of process development and clinical trials are becoming blockbuster medical products. Growth factors, enzymes and antibodies are being improved by mutational approaches, fused with other proteins, and even chemically modified in vitro. Drug development and testing approaches have advanced, and proteins produced in transgenic animals are new becoming available. Future protein products might include cancer vaccines and therapies for a variety of genetic diseases, but alternative treatments involving gene therapy or small synthetic compounds will provide competition.

Affinity systems based on specific molecular recognition are valuable tools for detection, purification and immobilization of recombinant proteins. Here, novel multipartite affinity fusion vectors were assembled and investigated to allow flexible binding and elution conditions. The rationale for the
