In order to study functional activity and possibility of using in test-systems for diphtheria toxin (DT) detection the recombinant soluble form of human heparin binding EGF-like growth factor (sHB-EGF) was obtained. It was shown that recombinant sHB-EGF could bind DT and heparin and also stimulate 3Т3 mouse fibroblast’s proliferation in vitro. Affinity constant for the interaction of recombinant sHB-EGF with DT estimated by Friquet method was 1.67•10⁸ М^–1 that was similar to the affinity of natural form of sHB-EGF. Recombinant sHB-EGF was used in the immunoenzyme «sandwich»-analyses instead capture antibodies for DT detection. Sensitivity of the developed method was 1.9 ng/ml. Obtained potential biotechnological product probably can be used as component of the test-systems for diphtheria diagnosis, as component of therapeutic drugs for stimulation of tissue regeneration or as a tool for fundamental researches.

Key words: human heparin binding EGF-like growth factor, soluble form, recombinant protein, test-system, diphtheria toxin.
