Recombinant Passenger Proteins Can Be Conveniently Purified by One-Step Affinity Chromatography.

tag Fusion is one of the best tools available to date to increase the solubility or increase the level of expression of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli. Typically, a two-step affinity purification row for purification of proteins often require passengers.

 As a fusion tag, acyl carrier Rabbit Recombiant Proteins protein (ACP) can greatly increase the level of soluble expression of glucokinase (GlcK), α-amylase (Amy) and GFP. When the fusion protein ACP-G2-GlcK-Histag and ACP-G2-Amy-Histag, where a TEV protease recognition site is inserted between the tag fusion protein and passengers, which coexpressed with each TEV protease in E. coli, efficient intracellular processing fusion protein is achieved. 

The resulting protein GlcK passenger-Histag and Amy-Histag accumulated mainly in an insoluble form, and can be easily purified by a Ni-chelating chromatography step. However, the ACP-GFP fusion protein-Histag incomplete processed by TEV protease coexpressed in vivo, and most of the resulting protein targets GFP-Histag collected in a soluble form, indicating that the intracellular processing can affect the solubility of the protein is cleaved passengers.

 In this context, the ACP-soluble fusion protein GFP-Histag, contained in the supernatant of E. coli cell lysate, immediately have cleavage in vitro by mixing it with clarified cell lysate of E. coli overexpressing TEV protease. Consequently, the resulting GFP-Histag target protein can accumulate mainly in the form of soluble, and easily purified by one step Ni-chelating chromatography. The approach presented here greatly simplifies the protein purification process passengers, and eliminates the use of large amounts of pure site-specific protease

Comparative evaluation of the diagnostic potential of recombinant envelope proteins and cell cultures of purified native viral antigen Chikungunya virus.


Despite the fact that the resurrection is associated with Chikungunya epidemic of unprecedented magnitude, there are challenges in the field of clinical diagnosis. However, serological test in ELISA format providing fast tool for the diagnosis of Chikungunya infections. 

Indeed, ELISA based on recombinant proteins holds great promise as this method is cost-effective and risk-free material handling Biohazardous. In this study, the performance CHIKV recombinant antigen compared in various formats ELISA for the diagnosis of Chikungunya. 

Two recombinant antigens derived from Chikungunya Sheep Recombinant Proteins virus envelope protein was prepared and evaluated by comparing their competency to detect circulating antibodies in serum samples from patients infected with CHIKV using MAC-ELISA and indirect IgM-ELISA. Efficacy of recombinant antigens were also compared with the original antigen
