Abstract

Objective: Expression of Bst Large Fragment enzyme (BstLF) and its application in isothermal amplification for detecting N. meningitidis. Subject and method: E. coli BL21(DE3) pLysS cells were transformed with pET15b_BstLF_6XHis encoding plasmid was then induced with the specific inducer (IPTG); Using the affinity chromatography method. Its function was evaluated and compared with the commercial enzyme in the LAMP reaction for identifying N. meningitidis. Result: The best condition for expression of high-quality recombinant Bst Large Fragment enzyme in 37oC, 1mM IPTG in four hours. The reaction using an in-house enzyme for detecting N. meningitidis was established in 50 minutes. The sensitivity achieved was 102 copies/reaction (confidence is 95%). Conclusion: Expression of BstLF enzyme and its application in LAMP assay for detecting N. meningitidis with a detection limit of 102 copies/reaction, equivalent to commercial Bst 3.0 DNA Polymerase enzyme.
