Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To clone VP1 genes from enterovirus 71 (EV71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) and to express the genes in eukaryotic cells. METHODS: VP1 coding sequences were obtained by PCR,and then inserted into pcFlag vector to construct FLAG-fused eukaryotic expression plasmids. The recombinant plasmids were used to transfect 293T cells and RD cells,and Western blotting was performed to detect the recombinant proteins. RESULTS: The plasmids containing VP1 were confirmed by sequencing. Recombinant proteins were detected in transfected cells using Western blotting. CONCLUSION: Exogenous expression of plasmids containing VP1 coding sequences of EV71 and CA16 were constructed successfully,and the recombinant proteins was detected in transfected cells.
