Abstract: The PCR technology was used to amplify the E5 gene according to the genome sequence of bovine papillomavirus type 13 (BPV-13) Hainan strain with the GenBank accession number KM258443.2.Then it was ligated into pEGFP-N1 vector.The recombinant plasmid pEGFP-E5-N1 was transfected into HEK293 cells with liposomes by transient transfection.The expression of fusion protein was identified by fluorescence microscope, flow cytometry and Western blotting.The results showed that the E5 gene was 135 bp with the 100% homology with the sequence deposited in GenBank.Bright green fluorescence could be seen in HEK293 cells transfected by pEGFP-E5-N1.The expressed fusion protein was about 32 ku.This experiment laid the foundation for further study of the functions of E5 gene in eukaryotic cells.

Key words: bovine papillomavirus type 13 (BPV-13); E5; EGFP; fusion protein; eukaryotic expression
