To analyze the immunogenicity and protective ability of recombinant IgG-binding protein (EAG) of Streptococcus equi subspecies equi and to evaluate its value when used as equine vaccine antigen, EAG gene was amplified by PCR and inserted into pET-28a vector. The EAG recombinant proteins were expressed and purified to immune mice. The serum antibody and challenge protection were tested.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFibronectin-binding protein (FnBPA) is a protein that expresses on cell surface of Staphylococcus aureus during early stage of infection. FnBPA was capable of promoting Staphylococcus aureus to invade cells and was viewed as a potential immune target. Based on the FnBPA-A gene two recombinant expression vectors with or without Kozak sequence were constructed.
