Abstract The gene fragment coding the 124 amino acids of the carboxyl terminus of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)was amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and the shorted HBsAg was expressed in E.coli in a fusion protein fashion.The fusion protein was 16178Da in molecular weight and contained a 20-amino-acid fusion portion at its amino terminus which contained a six-histidine peptide segment.The expressed proteins aggregated into inclusion bodies weigh about 22% of the total bacteria proteins.It was easily purified with the HiTrap affinity matrix with a purity up to 95%.ELISA detection showed that the protein could be recognized by polyclonal antibodies against HBsAg and monoclonal antibody against HBsAg a determinant.
