Tag-less CFA/I/II/IV MEFA (9472) protein expression, characterization, and immunogenicity. (A) SDS-PAGE Coomassie blue staining showed the refolded 6xHis-tagged CFA/I/II/IV MEFA (9175; ~17 kDa) and tag-less CFA/I/II/IV MEFA proteins (9472; ~15 kDa). (B) Western blot detection of the refolded tag-less CFA/I/II/IV MEFA (9472), 6xHis-tagged (9175) proteins, or total proteins of E. coli BL21 host strain, with mouse anti-CFA/I antiserum. (C) IgG antibody titers (in log10) from the serum samples of the mice IP immunized with the tag-less CFA/I/II/IV MEFA (9472; open box) or the control group (solid box; without injection); dmLT was used as the adjuvant; six mice per group. Boxes and bars indicate means and standard deviations (log10). Molecular weight marker in kDa.
