| Human erythropoietin (huEPO) is a glycoprotein with important physiological functions, such as erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, and wound healing. A therapeutic protein, huEPO is commonly used to treat patients suffering from renal and non-renal anemia. Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhuEPO) and endogenous huEPO are similar with respect to their biological and chemical properties. In this study, we describe the construction of synthetic huEPO gene to produce rhuEPO. The synthetic huEPO gene was constructed by overlapping oligonucleotides assembly and amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Twenty oligonucleotide sets, covering the huEPO gene sequence and two newly introduced restriction enzyme sites, were pulled together and amplified using Pfu DNA... |
