Abstract: Chemical-enzymatic synthesis and cloning of the DNA fragment coding for the human interleukin-2 signal sequence was accomplished. A hybrid plasmid pSIL-2 containing the gene of the human interleukin-2 with this signal sequence was constructed for effective expression of the gene in eukaryotic systems. A variant permitting the removal of the interleukin-2 stop-codons was obtained, which is suitable for the construction of chimeric genes containing the interleukin-2 gene sequence at the 5'-end.
