Abstract.
Viral protein 2 (VP2) of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) are viral surface proteins which contain epitopes that are able to induce neutralizing antibodies for protection against Newcastle disease and infectious bursal disease. In the present study, recombinant fused protein consisting of VP2 and partial HN protein was produced. The fused protein was made by fusing VP2 gene to full length (flHN) and partial HN (pHN) gene, separately and cloned it into pRSETB expression vector. The recombinant construct is then transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) for production of the fused protein. The fused VP2-pHN protein was successfully produced in E. coli BL21 (DE3) strain with the size of 75 kDa detected by anti-His monoclonal antibody via Western blot analysis.
