Abstract

Six fragments of the F gene from bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) were engineered into the pMAL-c2 Escherichia coli expression vector and expressed as C-terminal maltose-binding protein (MBP) fusion products. The resulting polypeptides were partially soluble and single-step purified by affinity chromatography. These fusion proteins were recognized in Western blots by several MAbs directed against human respiratory syncytial virus F protein. In addition, rabbit polyclonal antisera raised against two purified MBP-derived proteins reacted with the BRSV-F protein.
