High Expression,Purification and Imm uno-indentification of Recombinant HIV Surface Antigen gpl20
Abstract: Different—length fragments of the HIV trans-membrane antigen (gp120)gene were ex pressed in Escherichia coti,using T7 expression system .SDS-PAGE stained by Coomassic Brilliant Blue showed no expression of full—length gpl20 and poor expresion 0f half—length gpl20 fragments from the N—terminal,but high expression of 1/3一lgenth gpl20 gene fragments from the N term inal (including V1/V2 epitopes).more than 18% of total bacterial protein Western blot showed fairly good reactivity to serum from HIV-infected individua1.On this basis,we expresed the corresponding tp 120 fragments of the HIV strains epidemic in China This study laid a solid foundation for expIo— ration of high expression of gP 120 in E coli and development of HIV serological diagnostic system for Chinese people.
