Synthesis, Expression and Purification of S1 and S2 Fragments of SARS S Protein in E. coil

[Objective] To obtain pure recombinant S1 and S2 of SARS S protein. [Method] Using asymmetric PCR and ligation with endonuclease, S1 and S2 fragments of SARSV HK strain S gene were synthesized. Then, these two fragments were inserted into plasmid pET28a to obtain recombinant vectors pET28a-S1 and pE...

Summary:[Objective] To obtain pure recombinant S1 and S2 of SARS S protein. [Method] Using asymmetric PCR and ligation with endonuclease, S1 and S2 fragments of SARSV HK strain S gene were synthesized. Then, these two fragments were inserted into plasmid pET28a to obtain recombinant vectors pET28a-S1 and pET28a-S2, respectively. These recombinant vectors were transformed into E. coli BL21, and expression of S1 and S2 fragments were induced by IPTG. The conditions of expression and purification were optimized. [Result] The S1 and S2 fragments were amplified and successfully expressed in E. coli. [Conclusion] This research provides detection antigens for follow-up development of SARS vaccine.
