In recent years genetic engineering methods have been used to create strains of microorganisms synthesizing eukaryotic proteins, including hormones and their precursors. The first stage of such developments is the isolation of DNA coding the des~red product. We have accomplished the cloning of the cDNA of a number of polypeptide and peptide hormones of the pituitary of man and domestic animals. The model gene of human calcitonin has also been synthesized and cloned. The obtained genes are being used to develop methods for the microbiological synthesis of human and animal-hormones.}, language = {en} }
