Abstract
An improved method for recovering recombinantly produced polypeptides is described. The method involves expressing the recombinant polypeptide as a fusion protein with a pro-peptide. The pro-peptide-polypeptide fusion protein can be cleaved and the recombinant polypeptide released under the appropriate conditions.
