Plasmid instability and growth inhibition of plasmid-bearing cells after induction were encountered when E. coli BL21(DE3) was used as host for the production of antihuman ovarian carcinoma x antihuman CD3 single-chain bispecific antibody (AhOC x AhCD3), human soluble B lymphocyte stimulator fused with thioredoxin (Trx-hsBLyS) and human parathyroid hormone fused with thioredoxin (Trx-hPTH). A derivative of BL21 (DE3), namely, BLRM(DE3), isolated and showing superiority in AhOC x AhCD3 production in our previous work, was further used here for more efficient production of these three different recombinant proteins. By using BLRM(DE3) as host, the simplified one-stage fermentation process was developed, which was more labor-saving and yielded AhOC x AhCD3, comparable to that of the traditional two-stage fermentation process. Also, the plasmid stabilities and production yields of Trx-hsBLyS and Trx-hPTH were dramatically improved by the application of BLRM(DE3) instead of BL21(DE3). A high Trx-hsBLyS yield (about 3.5 g/L) was obtained, which was more than twice as much as that of the recombinant BL21(DE3) strain. The Trx-hPTH yield was improved from about 700 mg/L to 1 g/L. These results further showed the superiority of BLRM(DE3) to BL21(DE3) and suggested its effectiveness for other BL21(DE3)/pET heterologous protein expression systems, which encounter similar problems.
