Abstract: We predicted the non-structural protein NS1 of aleutian disease virus (ADV) by DNAStar software Protean module. Then three fragments of NS1 gene named as L1N1, L2N2 and L3N3 were amplified using the laboratory saved NS1-pMD18-T plasmid as template. We constructed three cloning plasmids pMD18-T-L1N1, pGEM-T-L2N2 and pMD18-T-L3N3. After identification, they were linked to pGEX-4T-1 prokaryotic expression vector by two enzymes EcoRⅠ and SalⅠ, respectively, and transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3) inducing with IPTG. The expressed recombinant proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The results showed that three recombination prokaryotic expression plasmids pGEX-4T-L1N1, pGEX-4T-L2N2 and pGEX-4T-L3N3 were successfully constructed and the SDS-PAGE results showed that three purpose proteins were expressed about 57, 55 and 44 ku as expected. Furthermore, the proteins were recognized by ADV positive sera and had the reactionogenicity. In the study, the NS1 gene of ADV was expressed segmentedly in E.coli for the first time and laid a foundation for the further study of ADV subunit vaccines.
