Abstract: In the study, we mainly did the research about efficient expression and characterization of bovine interferon-γ in suspension Sf21 cells. Bovine IFN-γ gene was amplified by RT-PCR, and inserted into the pFastBacTM HTA to get the recombinant plasmid, named as pFastBacTMHTA-IFN-γ. After transformation and transfection,the recombinant baculovirus was obtained. The target protein named rBovIFN-γ was successfully expressed in Sf21 insect cells during suspension culture. We identified the rBovIFN-γ with SDS-PAGE,Western blotting and mass spectrum(MS). Western blotting analysis showed that the recombinant protein had good activity. The protein MS identification results confirmed the recombinant bovine IFN-γ expression via the baculovirus expression system. MDBK/VSV antiviral test results showed that the rBovIFN-γ had high antiviral activity at 1.05×105 IU/mg.

Key words: bovine interferon-γ; baculovirus; suspension culture; MS; antiviral
