| dc.description.abstract | Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a worldwide health problem, which can lead to severe liver disease mainly hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis. The present investigation lays emphasis on expression of HBsAg gene in E. coli and C. forskohlii. The confirmed recombinant pET28A+HBsAG clone was transformed into E. coli. The positive clones were used for protein expression studies and induction parameters viz., IPTG concentration, temperature, induction time and pH of the medium were standardized to produce optimum HBsAg protein yield. The clone 2 was selected for optimization of protein expression. The highest protein expression was recorded when cells were subjected to 1.5 μM IPTG (384 μg mL-1), pH at 8 (378 μg mL-1) and induction time of 8 h (360 μg mL-1) with temperature of 35 °C. The purified protein was subjected to SDS-PAGE analysis. The presence of ~25 kDa protein band confirmed the expression of HBsAg protein in E. coli which was further confirmed through dot blot. The Agrobacterium strain LBA4404 carrying confirmed recombinant pHB118 vector was used for agroinfiltration of C. forskohlii leaves and the protein was extracted after 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. The extracted HBsAg protein was subjected to SDS-PAGE analysis which showed the presence of ~25 kDa protein. Further this protein was confirmed by dot blot and ELISA for its specificity. The highest expression was observed in leaves harvested after 72 h (1.5 mg g-1 fresh weight of C. forskohlii leaf). | en_US |
