Expression of feline immunodeficiency virus gag gene in Escherichia coli
Abstract
The gag gene of a Japanese feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) isolate, designated as FIV TM 2, was expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with TrpE. Using this expressed protein, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed for detection of antibodies to FIV gag protein in feline sera. With serum samples from a cat experimentally infected with FIV, it was demonstrated that the period of seroconversion detected by this method corresponded to that by Western blotting.
