Abstract
Secretion to the periplasm of Escherichia coli enables production of many eukaryotic extracellular proteins in a soluble form. The complex disulphide bond arrangement of such proteins is probably a major factor in determining the low yield of correctly folded product observed in many cases. Here we show that co-expression of human protein disulphide isomerase increased the yield of a monoclonal antibody Fab' fragment in the periplasm of E. coli.
