Abstract:
To construct a recombinant expression plasmid Bacmid-N containing the N gene of Rabies Virus, the N gene of RV CVS-11 strain was cloned into the baculovirus shuttle vector (Bacmid). Recombinant Baculovirus AcMNPV-N (P1 Viral stock) was obtained by transfecting the Bacmid-N into the insect cell line of Sf9. The expressed nucleoprotein was identified and analysised by ELISA, FA, SDS-PAGE and Western blot assays. The results showed that the NP protein was expressed intracellularly and had a good antigenicity, which would be potentially used for further study on the diagnostic reagent of rabies virus detection.
