Production of alpha-interferon in Lactococcus lactis

Human interferon-a2b (IFN-a2b) is one of the members of IFN family and it is also one of the biopharmaceuticals used to cure diseases such as hairy cell leukemia, malignant melanoma, and chronic hepatitis (B and C). The majority of commercial products available in the market are obtained in E.coli....

In this study, four recombinant L. lactis, MGIF (containing P32, a constitutive promoter), PNZ, PNHIF, PNZUSPIF (containing Pnis, an inducible promoter) were constructed for the expression of IFN-alph 2b.

The effect of different carbon sources (glucose,sucrose and lactose), nisin induction and incubation time in M17 medium on the amount of production were also tested. The results showed that the highest production was achieved in presence of glucose for all the recombinant strains and the best concentration of nisin induction for recombinant strains with Pnis promoter was at 30 ng/mL. In addition, the highest expression amount of IFN for MG1363 recombinant (MGIF) was at 9 hours of incubation and for NZ9000 recombinants (NZIF and NZUSPIF) was at 4.5 hours.
