Abstract: A pair of specific primers was designed on A domain of FnbpA gene sequence of S.aureus published in GeneBank. Then FnbpA-A gene was cloned and sequenced, its protein second structure was analyzed and antigenic epitope was predicted. The sequencing results showed that FnbpA-A gene was 1645 bp in size, encoding 548 amino acids, the homology of coding amino acids between this strain and CIG1835 strain was 100%. Protein secondary structure analysis showed that FnbpA-A protein had alpha helixes 13.69%, β sheet 30.84%, β turn 11.86% and random coil 43.61%. B-cell epitopes were most likely localized in its N-teminal 31 to 46, 54 to 69, 142 to 157, 303 to 318, 324 to 339, 450 to 465, 491 to 506, 533 to 548 sites and T-cell epitopes had the high probability in the regions of 353 to 361 and 245 to 253. To sum up, FnbpA-A could be used as a candidate gene of S.aureus genetic engineering subunit vaccine.
