Clone expression and purification of influenza A virus nucleoprotein gene

OBJECTIVE: To clone the influenza A virus NP gene into expression vector and to purify the target protein, which was used to study the preparation of monoclonal antibody. METHODS: The RNA of influenza A virus was extracted and primers were designed according the NP gene sequence, then the NP gene of influenza A virus was expressed in E.coli DH5alpha and the NP protein was purified by affinity chromatography. RESULTS: The recombinant expression vector-pGEX-4T-2-NP was successfully constructed and relatively pure target protein was obtained. CONCLUSION: Through reasonably controlling the fermentation time, growth temperature and induction concentration, satisfactory soluble target product was obtained.
