Abstract
Objective: To construct a recombinant BCG secretively expressing ESAT-6 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Methods: alpha-antigen(alpha-Ag) signal sequence and esat-6 gene were amplified from the genome of Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis by PCR respectively. esat-6 gene was cloned in E. coli-BCG shuttle-plasmid pMV261 to get pME. Then a new recombinant plasmid pSME was constructed by inserting BCG alpha-Ag signal sequence into pME.
Results: The cloned genes alpha-Ag signal sequence and esat-6 were correctly inserted into the vector pMV261, which was confirmed by restriction endonuclease digestion and PCR amplification of pSME.
Conclusion: pSME was expected to secretively express ESAT-6 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in BCG. This study provides the possibility of further researches on the development of new anti-tuberculosis vaccine.
