Abstract: To identify prokaryotic expression of the ORF5 gene of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in different encoding regions, fragments D, L, N and C obtained by deleting the N-terminal signal peptide sequence and/or the transmembrane domain sequence of ORF5 gene were amplified by PCR. Based on cloning and sequence. These fragments were inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a respectively. The recombinant expression plasmids contained fragments L, N or C yielded recombinant fusion proteins of the expected sizes (33, 25 and 29 kDa respectively), but fragment D yielded no recombinant fusion protein. The recombinant fusion protein of fragment L showed strong positive reaction with PRRSV-infected swine serum by Western blotting, fragment C showed weak positive, whereas fragment N showed no positive. It indicated that the C-terminus of ORF5 encoding protein played an important role in immunoreactivity.
