Human parathyroid hormone (hPTH) has been bacterially expressed in bioreactors as cro-beta-galactosidase-hPTH fusion protein. We have developed a large-scale purification scheme that exploits the pH-dependent differential solubility of hPTH and a two-step chromatographic procedure. We demonstrate that in a number of assay systems, the recombinant material obtained by this procedure is biologically active.
