Abstract: In order to gain nucleocapsid protein (N) and glycoprotein (E) of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), the total RNA was extracted,ORF7 and ORF5 genes were obtained by RT-PCR, inserted into pET-28a(+) vector, and then transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3),respectively. The expressed products were identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting, and purified by affinity chromatography. The results showed that N and E fusion protein were successfully expressed and the proteins had good reactionogenicities by Western blotting analysis. The purities of the purified proteins were 89% and 90%, respectively. This study could lay foundations for molecular biological function research and establishment of test methods for detection antibodies of PRRSV.
