Abstract: The structural gene of fibroin Csubunit(i.e. fibroin light chain, FL) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) from pFL18 plasmid, which carries a cDNAclone of fibroin Csubunit. The PCR product was cloned on fusion protein expression vector pRIT2T, and was expressed in the E. Coli strain P2392. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) and immunoblotting were carried out to verify the expression of protein Afibroin Csubunit fusion protein.

Key words: Fibroin C subunit, Fusion protein, Protein A, Immunoblotting
