Abstract: The sequence encoding of the mature protein of STX1 A of E.coli O157 strain 94H, isolated from some patient in China, was amplified by PCR. The primers were designed from STX1 toxin gene sequence of E. coli strain 933W. The amplified gene was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a. Then the recombinant pET28a-stx1A was transformed into host strain E. coli BL21 (DE3). Expressed recombinant STX1 A was used to immunize rabbits to prepare anti-serum. The IgG fraction of the antiserum was cross-linked with the latex particle suspension to yield a final immunoglobulin. The described methods enabled a sensitive and simple assay of STX1 A production.
