Prokryotic expression of CFP-10 protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To construct recombinant plasmid containing CFP-10 gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB).Methods The gene fragment of CFP-10 was amplified by PCR from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv genomic DNA and cloned to pET-32a(+) vector.The recombinant plasmid pET-32a-CFP-10 was transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3) and induced by IPTG.Results CFP-10 gene fragment was amplified from genomic DNA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain,and thepET-32a(+) prokaryotic recombinant plasmid was constructed successfully.The recombinant protein was expressed with the induction of IPTG.Conclusions The prokaryotic expression vector for CFP-10 was successfully constructed and the recombinant protein was highly expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3),which lays a foundation for its subsequent immunological function study.
