The cDNA coding for the major nonstructural protein, NS1, of bluetongue serotype 17 (BTV-17) was cloned previously. Using pUC plasmids, we have successfully expressed the NS1 protein in Escherichia coli as a LacZ-NS1 fusion protein. The recombinant NS1 protein reacted with rabbit anti-BTV-17 antiserum, and was thus immunologically indistinguishable from the native BTV-17 NS1 protein. This was the first bluetongue viral protein to be produced in a bacterial system.
此前已克隆出编码蓝舌病血清型17(BTV - 17)主要非结构蛋白NS1的互补DNA(cDNA)。利用pUC质粒,我们已成功在大肠杆菌中表达出NS1蛋白,其形式为LacZ - NS1融合蛋白。重组NS1蛋白与兔抗BTV - 17抗血清发生反应,因此在免疫学上与天然BTV - 17 NS1蛋白无法区分。这是首个在细菌系统中产生的蓝舌病病毒蛋白。
