Heterologous expression of human interleukin-6 in Streptomyces lividans TK24 using novel secretory expression vectors.

abstract：:Previously, we constructed a genetically modified luciferase of Photinus pyralis that generates more than 10-fold higher luminescence intensity than the wild-type enzyme. In this study, we demonstrate that this modified luciferase enables us to detect ATP at 10(-18) mol, which is almost equal to the quantity contained...
