The gene encoding an antigenic polypeptide of Anisakis simplex larvae was studied using recombinant DNA techniques. cDNA synthesized from poly(A)-rich mRNA from A. simplex larvae was ligated into phage vector lambda gtll DNA and packaged in vitro. The phages were propagated on Escherichia coli and a lambda gtll expression library was constructed. A cDNA clone encoding a 42 kDa antigenic polypeptide was selected by immunoscreening of the library and identified by the epitope selection method. A clone containing cDNA for a 42 kDa protein was isolated. The gene encoding this 42 kDa antigenic polypeptide was characterized by DNA and RNA blot analysis using the cDNA as a probe. The gene was transcribed to mRNA with approximately 1400 nucleotides and translated to 42 kDa polypeptide. The antigenic beta-galactosidase fusion protein synthesized by bacteria had no cross-reactivity with other parasite-infected sera.
