A modified human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (hG-CSF) is
produced by culturing a microorganism transformed with an expression
vector comprising a gene encoding a modified hG-CSF to produce and
secrete the modified hG-CSF to periplasm, said modified hG-CSF being
obtained by replacing at least one of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 17th amino
acids of wild-type hG-CSF (SEQ ID NO: 2) with other amino acid
