The effects of homologous exchanges of extended regions in human growth hormone molecule were studied as were the effects of cultivation temperature and inducer concentration on the formation of inclusion bodies during bacterial synthesis. Hybrid hormones were obtained. Compared to human growth hormone, they had increased solubility in vivo. A conclusion regarding the possible participation of functional epitopes in intracellular protein aggregation during their production in heterologous systems.
