Abstract:
Objective: To construct a vector which clone and express
Plasmodium vivax MSP1-19 Gene(
Pv MSP1-19).
Methods: The
Pv MSP1-19 was cloned into the expression vector pET
28a. The recombinant expression vector was transformed into
E. coli,and the
Pv MSP1-19 protein was expressed under IPTG induction. The recombinant protein was purified by affinity chromatography and the fusion protein was characterized by SDS-PAGE and Western blot.
Results: The
Pv MSP1-19 gene in plasmid pET
28a was expressed in
E. coli as a fusion protein. The fusion protein could be reacted specifically with
Plasmodium vivax patient serum.
Conclusions: The
Pv MSP1-19 gene was expressed successfully in
E. coli,which provides the necessary basis for preparing vaccine in human.
