FIELD: biotechnology.
SUBSTANCE: method comprises culturing CHO cell in which the gene of taurine transporter (TauT) was artificially transferred, the DNA encoding the desired polypeptide and the DNA encoding dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) was introduced in the presence of methotrexate concentration at which 90% or more cells, in which TauT was not introduced die within three weeks after subculturing. From the number of surviving CHO cells the CHO cell is selected which is capable to produce a desired polypeptide with a high yield. The cell prepared in this manner produces a desired polypeptide in higher yield than the CHO cell transfected with DNA encoding the desired polypeptide and DNA encoding DHFR, but not the genome of taurine transporter. The method of producing a desired polypeptide comprises culturing the above mentioned cell and isolating the desired peptide.
EFFECT: invention enables to produce the desired polypeptide with a high yield.
