Cloning, Expression, and Antitumor Activity of Recombinant Protein of Curcin

Curcin, a protein isolated from the seeds of Jatropha curcas can be used as a cell-killing agent. To elaborate the purification methods and investigate the antitumor activity of the recombinant protein, the fragment encoding the mature protein of curcin was inserted into E. coli strain M15 and the...
