Abstract: To successfully clone the outer membrane proteins 16 (Omp16) gene and make prokaryotic expression in E.coli, one pair of primers was designed according to B. melitensis M5-90 strain Omp16 gene sequence in GenBank, and then obtained Omp16 gene which was about 507 bp by PCR from the Brucella genome. After purifying, Omp16 gene was inserted into pMD20-T vector to construct recombinant plasmid pMD-Omp16. pMD-Omp16 transformed into E.coli DH5α and identified it by sequencing, then subcloned to vector pET-28a(+). The constructed recombinant plasmid pET-Omp16 was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3) for expression under induction of IPTG. Lastly, the expression products of recombinant protein His-Omp16 was identified by Western blotting. The results showed that the prokaryotic expression vector was successfully constructed and expressed Omp16 gene in E.coli BL21.
