title: [Construction and expression of prokaryotic expression vector for pTAT-HBV targeted ribonuclease fusion protein].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To construct Tat-HBV targeted ribonuclease fusion protein prokaryotic expression vector and express it in E.coli.
  
  
  METHODS
  The cDNAs encoding HBV targeted ribonuclease, human eosinophil-derived neurotoxin and HBV core protein were respectively cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pTAT-HA. Recombinant plasmids were transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3) LysS, then the transformed cells were induced with IPTG. The expression of the fusion proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The three recombinant plasmids were constructed and expressed after IPTG induction successfully.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The obtained Tat-HBV targeted ribonuclease fusion protein has laid the foundation for using TR in therapy of HBV infection.
