To screen and prepare effective SARS virus vaccine and diagnostic antigens, we designed a pair of primers to amplify the gene encoding SARS coronavirus membrane protein and cloned it into an expression plasmid Pet23a. Coli BI.21 ( D E 3 ) and induced by I P T G , Western-blot showed that the expressed 27 kD protein which was characterized by SDS-PAGE and purified by metal chelated chromatography could react with antibodies in sera of SARS patients during convalescence, demonstrating the recombinant protein possessed the biological activity of membrane protein. ./cache/cord-308576-iw8oobbe.txt ./txt/cord-308576-iw8oobbe.txt
