Abstract:
We expressed B cell epitopes of dengue virus envelope protein and NS1 protein in prokaryotic cells,and purified and evaluated for its serological activities.A recombinant multi-epitope chimeric gene named rE including eight B cell epitopes was connected by linker peptide (EAAAK)2 and cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a(+),and transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3) cells for expression under induction of IPTG.The expressed recombinant protein was purified with 6× His purification media,and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot,and its antigenicity was analyzed by using an indirect ELISA assay.The recombinant expression vector pET28a-rE was constructed and expressed in BL21 (DE3) successfully,but the recombinant proteins mainly appeared as inclusion bodies.The target protein was obtained with high purity through the purification of affinity chromatography.SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis showed that the molecular weight of fusion protein was in the expected line.The established indirect ELISA has high accuracy.This recombinant peptide antigen expressed in E.coli has good potential for serum testing.
