Abstract:

In order to develop effective detection methods and prepare monoclonal antibody of porcine circovirus type Ⅱ , Cap and Rep genes of porcine circovirus type Ⅱ were amplified and cloned into pMD18-Tsimple vector. And the genes were sequenced. Then Cap and Rep genes were sub-cloned into pACYCDuet-1 vector to generate three prokaryotic expression plasmids named pACYCDuet-1-Cap, pACYCDuet-1-Rep, and pACYCDuet-1-Rep -Cap. The plasmids were transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3) and expressed. The results of Western-blotting showed that the two proteins were expressed successfully in E.coli BL21 (DE3). Furthermore, plasmid for coexpression of two proteins expressed better than the other two plasmids.
