Recombinant Proteins

Medical Definition: Proteins prepared by recombinant DNA technology.
Guide Notes: "proteins prepared by recombinant DNA technology"; IM; GEN only; prefer specifics; for synthesis of these proteins, coord IM with /biosyn + specific protein /biosyn (IM)
Also Called: Proteins, Recombinant DNA
Previously Indexed: DNA, Recombinant (1977-1985),Proteins or specific protein (1966-1985)
Recombinant Proteins Categories.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Recombinant Fusion Proteins - Proteins that are the result of genetic engineering. A regulatory part or promoter of one or more genes is combined with a structural gene. The fusion protein is formed after transcription and translation of the fused gene. This type of fusion protein is used in the study of gene regulation or structure-activity relationships. They might also be used clinically as targeted toxins (IMMUNOTOXINS).
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Vaccines, Synthetic - Small synthetic peptides that mimic surface antigens of pathogens and are immunogenic, or vaccines manufactured with the aid of recombinant DNA techniques. The latter vaccines may also be whole viruses whose nucleic acids have been modified.
