Abstract
Six fragments of the F gene from bovine respiratory syncytial virus (B RSV) were engineered into the pMAL-c2 Escherichia coli expression vect or and expressed as C-terminal maltose-binding protein (MBP) fusion pr oducts. The resulting polypeptides were partially soluble and single-s tep purified by affinity chromatography. These fusion proteins were re cognized in Western blots by several MAbs directed against human respi ratory syncytial virus F protein. In addition, rabbit polyclonal antis era raised against two purified MBP-derived proteins reacted with the BRSV-F protein. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
