Abstract:[Objective] To study the immunogenicity of co-expression of p30,one of a group specific antigens,and glycoprotein gp90 genes of Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV).[Methods]p30 and gp90 genes were amplified with the template of plasmid pPB101 containing the whole sequence of spleen necrosis virus(SNV),and cloned into pET-28a(+) vector.The positive clone pET-p30-gp90 was identified by enzyme analysis and sequencing.The co-expressed protein p30-gp90 was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis. After quantitation,the purified protein p30-gp90 was immunized to Balb/c mice three times to prepare the p30-gp90 specific anti-serum.Afterwards,we detected the REV infected Chick Embryo Fibroblasts (CEF) by Immunofluorescence assay (IFA) with the prepared anti-serum.[Results]The p30-gp90 was co-expressed efficiently by SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis.The anti-serum of p30-gp90 reacts with REV infected CEF in IFA.[Conclusion]The expressed protein of p30-gp90 keeps good immunogenicity.
