  • Ribosome binding site
    Patent number: 5268284
    Abstract: Provided are ribosome binding sites having an increased number of adenine (A) and thymidine (T) residues as compared to the naturally occurring ribosome binding sites from which they are derived or to which they are related, which allow high level expression of genes encoding heterologous polypeptides, particularly somatotropins, operatively linked thereto.
