Abstract: | A 559 base pair fragment of cDNA locating at the putative E2 region of GBV-C/HGV was inserted intoPichia pastoris expression vector pPIC9K in the reading frame of α-factor secreting signal peptide. The recombinant expression plasmid pPIC9K-E2 was introduced intoP. pastoris GS 115 with electroporation and recombined with the host genome by homological recombination. The His+Mut+ recombinant yeasts were selected and cultivated in the BMMY medium. After 3 days induction with 0.5% methanol, the target protein (E2) accumulated up to 30% of total proteins in the supernatant. The expressed E2 protein was proved possessing antigenicity and high specificity with Western blot and ELISA probed with sera from the immunized rabbits and the patients infected by GBV-C/HGV.
