Abstract

Objective: To highly express TAT-HBX-EGFP fusion protein and study its distribution in mouse liver.

Methods: TAT-HBX-EGFP recombinant vector was constructed and fusion protein was induced by IPTG and expression in BL21; fusion protein was purified by Ni-NTA argarose, then injected into the peritoneal cavity of the mice. Distribution of fusion protein was observed by immunofluorescence.

Results: TAT-HBX-EGFP was highly expression in E. coli; HBX could be induced into mouse liver by TAT.

Conclusion: HBX protein could be induced into mouse liver by TAT induced peptide.
