Abstract
Abstract A recombinant DNA comprising a regulatory gene having a positive regulation site and joined downstream thereof, a human Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase structural gene, and a process for producing human Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase by cultivating a microorganism transformed with the recombinant DNA, and recovering the human Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase accumulated in the culture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
23 words
A recombinant DNA comprising a regulatory gene having a positive regulation site and joined downstream thereof, a human Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase structural gene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
23 words
A recombinant DNA comprising a regulatory gene having a positive regulation site and joined downstream thereof, a human Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase structural gene.
