B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) fused at the C-terminus to the Fc portion of human IgG1 (BCMA-Fc) blocks B-cell activating factor (BAFF) and proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL)-mediated B-cell activation, leading to immune disorders. The fusion protein has been cloned and produced by several engineering cell lines. To reduce cost and enhance production, we attempted to express recombinant human BCMA-Fc (rhBCMA-Fc) in <i>Pichia pastoris</i> under the control of the <i>AOX1</i> methanol-inducib ...[more]
