Abstract

Methods are disclosed for producing a protein which has substantially the same biological activity as human protein C or human activated protein C. The protein is produced by mammalian host cells transfected with a plasmid capable of integration in mammalian host cell DNA. The plasmid includes a promoter followed downstream by a nucleotide sequence which encodes a protein having substantially the same structure and/or activity as human protein C or human activated protein C the nucleotide sequence being followed downstream by a polyadenylation signal.
