Recombinant plasmid expressing the entire coding region of the Bmyc putative protein

: An expression vector with the entire coding region of Bmyc oncogene was constructed. The longest predicted open reading frame of Bmyc (178 amino acid residues) was expressed as a fusion protein with the trpE protein (308 amino acid residues) in transformed bacteria. The newly synthesized 58 Kd protein reacted with an anti pan-myc serum. The fusion protein isolated from a preparative Western blot was used as immunogen to generate rabbit anti myc specific immune sera.
