ABSTRACT
To obtain an ideal recombinant C-terminal fragment of the merozoite surface protein of Plasmodium falciparum in the Pichia pastoris expression system, the major surface protein-119 (MSP-119) gene sequence bearing the 6-his gene was inserted into expression vector pPIC9k and the target gene was transformed to the susceptible yeast cells GS115 by using electroporation. The multiple inserts were screened and the successfully expressed MSP-119 protein with the relative molecular weight of 12kDa in the supernatants of cell cultures could be detected by SDS-PAGE. Meanwhile, Western blot analysis also demonstrated that this protein reacted with mouse anti-MSP-119 monoclonal antibody, and the expression level of MSP-119 was more than 1.0 g/L. It is concluded that this recombinant protein expressed in the Pichia pastoris expression system resembles the native proteins existed.
