Expression of vp8 Gene of Rotavirus A in Prokaryotic Expression System
Abstract: A cDNA fragment of the vp8 gene from Rotavirus strain Wa was obtained by RT-PCR and cloned into the expressing vector pGEX-5x-1 to construct recombinant plasmid pGEX-VP8. Transformation of pGEX-VP8 to E.coli JM109 and positive clonse was select, The fragment vp8 was sequenced. With IPTG inducing, the recombimant productivity was detected by SDS-PAGE. The results demonstrated that the sequence of vp8 was correct and the productivity of VP8 recombinant protein was peaked after IPTG induction in 6-8h.
