title: [Expression and purification of gene transfer vehicle mediated by epidermal growth factor receptor].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To create a gene transfer vehicle for targeting gene therapy of cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor overexpressing.
  
  
  METHODS
  Encoding sequences of the first domain of histone gene (H1) and EGF C-loop (EGFc) were obtained by PCR amplification. These two DNA fragments were ligated by EcoR I site, and cloned and sequenced. E. coli expression vector of the fusion gene was then constructed. The fusion protein H1EGFc was purified by specific band isolation from SDS-PAGE.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The molecular weight of purified protein was consistent with the designed request. Its purity reached 94.02%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A fusion protein H1EGFc was expressed and purified.
