As a first improvement step, we need to test whether this protein is compatible with the mammal expression system. So, we put it in a cell expression vector pEGFP-N3 to construct pEGFP-N3- lactoferrin.</p>

<p style="color:#aa5500">This gene encoding this protein is located next to a CMV promoter, and its C terminal is connected with an EGFP-tag. After we transfected into HeLa cells, we see obvious fluorescence to confirm this protein can be expressed in human cells. So, here we improved this part to a mammal expression plasmid and add an EGFP-tag onto it. We also confirmed this protein is compatible to express in our cell factories.</p>
