FIELD: biotechnology, genetic engineering. SUBSTANCE: gene of mutant human gamma-interferon IFNΔ-10 is obtained by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis and this gene is used for replacement gene of natural gamma-interferon in plasmid pIF-γ-trp2 by recombination and obtained plasmid pIFΔ-10 is used for competent cells E. coli MH-1 transformation. Obtained strain-producer E. coli VKPM B-6663 provides inducible synthesis of polypeptide eliciting activity of human gamma-interferon at expression level up to 40% of total cellular protein. Mutant gamma-interferon is resistant to blood proteases action. EFFECT: improved quality of mutant gamma-interferon. 3 cl, 4 dwg
