To produce recombinant Varicella-zoster virus Envelope glycoprotein H (gH) in E. coli, the gene of interest (18-317aa of HHV-3 gH) is co-cloned into an expression vector with an N-terminal 10xHis-tag and C-terminal Myc-tag gene and transformed into E. coli cells. The bacteria are cultured under conditions that induce protein expression. After reaching sufficient growth, the cells are lysed to release the recombinant protein. The harvested proteins undergo affinity chromatography purification. The purity of the HHV-3 gH protein is confirmed using SDS-PAGE, exceeding 85%.
Varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein H (gH) is a 118-kDa type I transmembrane protein with a large ectodomain and a short cytoplasmic tail [1]. It is recognized as the major neutralization target of the Varicella-zoster virus, with a conformational neutralizing epitope [2]. Studies have shown that gH, along with glycoproteins gE and gB, is incorporated into the Varicella-zoster virus virion envelope [3]. The cytoplasmic tails of these glycoproteins contain functional motifs that mediate endocytosis [1][3]. Varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein H plays a significant role in viral entry, replication, and pathogenesis [4].
