abstract：:The Sf-9 insect cells infected with a recombinant baculovirus integrated with a cDNA encoding human monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) produced three different MCP-1s, which were isolated by reverse-phase HPLC as 13kDa, 14kDa, and 15kDa bands on SDS-PAGE. The heterogeneity between these MCP-1s was ascribed to ...
