Abstract
A method is disclosed for the reliable production of proteins by amplifying, transcribing and translating the gene encoding the protein in an essentially cell-free system (gene amplification with transcription/translation, GATT). In the case of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), over 1 billion copies of DHFR are produced per original fol gene.
