Abstract:Objective
The echinococcosis-specific antigens Eg95 and AgB8/1 and the Em18 gene sequences were fused and expressed as the novel recombinant antigens rAgB8/1-Em18-Eg95 (T3) and rEm18-Eg95 (T2), used for the diagnosis of hydatid disease, prepared into an enzyme-linked immunosorbent reaction (ELISA) kit, and evaluated for their serological diagnostic value.
Method
The genes sequences were obtained from the GenBank database, and the T3 and T2 gene sequences were optimized and transformed into the pET-22b (+) BL21… Show more
