Abstract: The VP7 gene fragment was cloned to the vector pFastBacHTB. The recombinant plasmid pFastBacHTB-AHSV-VP7 was constructed and was identified by PCR and enzyme digestion and sequenced. Then the plasmid pFastHTB-AHSV-VP7 was transformed into DH10Bac complement cells. It was identified by antibiotics and PCR, it showed the recombinant plasmid pFastBacHTB-AHSV-VP7 was constructed. On this basis, transposition bacmid DNA was extracted to transfect Sf9 insect cells.After transfected 96 hours, baculovirus was harvested.Then the Western blotting showed that the recombinant VP7 was expressed in insecet cells.The recombinant VP7 protein had a good biological activity and was approximate 45 ku. It is a base to construct a ELISA kit to test AHSV antibody and to prepare monoclonal antibody.
