Zusammenfassung:Methods for producing heterologous proteins are disclosed. In particular, the present disclosure provides improved methods of producing desired proteins, including multi-subunit proteins such as antibodies, with a higher yield and improved purity. The transformed cells used are a methylotrophic yeast of the genus Pichia, more specifically Pichia pastoris. The method further involves culturing the cells at two different temperatures, the first being between 27.5-28.5 degrees celsius and the second being between 30-31 degrees celsius. Additionally, the promoter used to control expression of the desired antibody is not temperature inducible.
