Abstract: Outer membrane lipoprotein I(OprI)in Pseudomonas aeruginosa has solid immunogenicity and holds prospects in the development of vaccine. The OprI-expressing strain was obtained by molecular cloning. Western blotting verified that antibody specifically combined with OprI. The purified OprI was gained by the SDS-PAGE gel slices. Immunizing mice with OprI, specific immunity activated by OprI protected 57. 14% mice from P. aeruginosa infection, which reached significant protection compared with the control group. The orthogonal experiment was employed to obtain the optimal inducing expressing condition of OprI strain:strain OD600 value,IPTG final concentration,inducing time and temperature,were 0. 8,0. 3 mmol/L,8 h,and 28℃,respectively;the optimal culture condition was that the rotation rate,glucose concentration,and medium volume were 230 r/min,0% and 50 mL,respectively. This work laid the groundwork for the researches on industrial fermentation,protein function and vaccine development of OprI.
