Abstract

OBJECTIVE: . METHODS: 155) to construct a recombinant strain. Protein expression was induced under heat condition, and the expression of protein from the culture filtrates and the bacterial lysates was detected afterward. The 10 kDa culture filtrate antigen (CFP-10) (Ms) and CFP-10 (Mtb) were used as positive controls, and the cytoplasmic protein heat shock protein 65 (GroEL2) (Mtb) was used as negative controls. RESULTS: -10 (Ms) were successfully amplified by PCR from recombinant plasmid, and sequencing results of the recombinant plasmid is right, confirming the successful construction of the recombinant plasmid. The recombinant Ms was successfully constructed and it could express the proteins GroEL2 (Mtb), HRP1, CFP-10 (Mtb) and CFP-10 (Ms). The target protein HRP1 was detected in both of the lysate and the culture filtrate of the recombinant strain by Western blot, which was consistent with the positive control CFP-10. The negative control GroEL2 (Mtb) was only detected in the bacterial lysate, but not detected in the culture filtrate. CONCLUSION: can be secreted out of Ms by the secretion system of Ms. It may be a secreted protein and play an important role in the pathogenesis of Mtb.
