hpv16 e7-ct (gp96) fusion protein: molecular cloning, expression and purification of a recombinant 6xhis-tagged protein in e. coli
Authors
abstract
the development of a therapeutic vaccine against human papillomavirus (hpv) is important for the control of cervical cancer. e7 is the major transforming protein produced in cervical cancers, and therefore represents potential tumor-specific antigen that could be the target of immunotherapy for cervical cancer. among different vaccine strategies, protein-based vaccines are capable of generating cd8+ t cell responses in vaccinated animals and humans. recently, development of novel strategies that enhance protein vaccine potency is important for generation of effective cancer vaccines and immunotherapies. heat shock proteins (hsps) including gp96 have been shown to act as potent immuno-adjuvant to enhance antigen-specific tumor immunity. therefore, the hsp-based protein vaccines can be administered by fusing antigens to hsps, in vitro . it has been known that the hsp fragments (e.g., n-/or c-terminal regions) as mini-chaperones are better choice for immunization. the most straightforward method to produce large amounts of recombinant protein suitable for a vaccine is to clone the gene into a prokaryotic expression vector and produce the protein in escherichia coli . in current study, we describe cloning of the hpv16 e7 gene linked to c-terminal fragment of gp96, identification and purification of the resultant e7-ct (gp96) fusion protein for next usage as a potential vaccine candidate protein against hpv in a pre-clinical trial. the recombinant e7-ct (gp96) migrated as a 51 kda protein in sds-page. in western blot experiment, the existence of a 51 kda band for re7-ct (gp96) was confirmed by rabbit anti-his as well as mouse anti-hpv16 e7 monoclonal antibodies. the protein of interest was both in the insoluble and the soluble fraction; therefore, purification was performed under denaturating and native conditions by affinity chromatography on ni-nta resin using 6xhis-tag.

Viral protein-1 (VP1) is a major capsid protein of Coxsakievirus B3 (CVB3) that plays an important role in directing viruses towards permissive cells and acts as a main antigenic site of the virus in eliciting of host immune response, hence it seems VP1 can be considered as a vaccine candidate against CVB3 infection. In this study, cDNA of VP1 was prepared, cloned into pET expression vector and...

Background & Objective: Brucellosis is an important zoonotic disease of economic significance. Brucella species are gram-negative, facultative intracellular bacteria, and are capable of replicating in the phagosomes of macrophages. They cause infection in several animal species and humans. Prevention of new diseases and diagnosis of cases infected with the organism are both essential for eradic...
