ABSTRACT
To construct expressing vector carrying esat6 gene and express this protein in Streptococcus gor-donii GP251. esat6 gene was amplified by PCR with specific primer from genome of Mycobacterium tuber-culosis (MTB)H37Rv. Inserted esat6 into the pMD18-T vector by T/A clone to get recombinant vector pMD18-esat6. Then digested pMD18-esat6 with restriction enzyme, esat6 was cloned to vector PSMB104 and expressed in Streptococcus gordonii GP251. The expression of esat6 protein was detected by Tricine-SDS-PAGE and Western-blot, ELISA technique was also used to detect its secretory volume. Re-striction endonuclease, PCR, Tric ine-SDS-PAGE and Western-blot confirmed that esat6 gene was cloned into expressing vector successfully, and a 10 kD protein secreted in Streptococcus gordonii GP251, this pro-tein has a good immunogenicity. The expression vector of esat6 gene was constructed, and esat6 protein ex-pressed in Streptococcus gordonii1 successfully, it will be benefit for future study.
ABSTRACT
Streptococcus gordonii is a nonpathogenic gram-positive commensal bacterium and component of the normal microbial flora of the human oral cavity. It is suitable to be as a mucosa vaccine vector due to its special bionomics. knowing the bionomics of Streptococcus gordonii,the general expressing system,and the application of it in mucosa vaccine,will provid important reference for the further development of its mucosa vaccine.
