Abstract

Expression of human insulin genomic gene is observed in human and murine fibroblasts. Protein-product (proinsulin or insulin) detected by ELISA is secreted by fibroblasts. The protein-product secreted level achieves its peak on 9th-10th days and may be expressed in 125-160 ng/ml of culture medium. The similar dependence of proinsulin / insulin secretion by human and murine fibroblasts is determined.
