Abstract: In this study, recombinant expression plasmid pVAX1/TSOL18 was constructed and then transfected into BHK-21 cell line with liposome 2000. The results of SDS-PAGE, Western blotting and fluorescence antibody assay showed that TSOL18 protein was successfully expressed in BHK-21 cell line and could be recognized by positive serum against cysticercosis.Immunization in mice indicated that the expression vectors could efficiently induce the specific cellular and humoral immunoresponse, which laid a solid foundation for the further development of new vaccines of cysticercosis.
