Abstract: The goose tembusu virus JS804 strain non-structural protein NS1 gene was amplified by PCR with the specific primers designed on the basis of NS1 gene and then was inserted into the prokaryotic vector pET28a and pET32a for the construction of recombinant expression plasmid pET28a-NS1 and pET32a-NS1. Then pET28a-NS1 and pET32a-NS1 were transformed respectively into Escherichia coli BL21 ( DE3). The recombinant protein NS1s ( His-NS1) were obtained with the induction of IPTG and the molecular weight of the fusion protein was 44 kDa and 58 kDa respectively. After 6 h induction by IPTG, the yield of fusion proteins reached peaks. The analysis showed that two fusion proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli into inclusion bodies. The fusion protein was purified to pure and high-level proteins by extracting the inclusion bodies with urea. The results laid the foundation for the further studies on the NS1 protein of goose tembusu virus.

Key words: Goose tembusu virus, NS1 protein, Prokaryotic expression
