OBJECTIVE: To establish a highly efficient expression system of recombinant human Flt3 ligand (rhFL) in E. coli and a suitable purification method of the expressed products. METHOD: Human FL encoding cDNA was introduced into pProEXHT plasmid to express a 6 x His-FL fusion protein in E. coli. The fusion protein expressed in inclusion body was isolated, solubilized and refolded, and then purified by chromatography on a metal-chelating affinity column (MCAC). Its activity was detected by stimulating the proliferation of CD(34)(+) cells. RESULT: The amount of rhFL expressed was about 15% of total bacterial proteins and the purity of rhFL was 90% after MCAC. The combination of rhFL, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and erythropoietin could stimulate CD(34)(+) cells to a 400 fold expansion. CONCLUSION: The purified rhFL had a potent activity to stimulate hematopoietic stem cells to expanse in vitro.
