Abstract: A recombinant plasmid containing cathepsin B endopeptidase of Schistosoma japonicum (Sjcb2) was constructed, indentified by PCR, restrictive enzyme, digestion and DNA sequencing, and expressed into mammalian cells. Immunochemistry examination showed that the Sjcb2 gene can be expressed in the eukaryotic system, providing a basis for the development of schistosome DNA vaccine.

Key words: Schistosoma japonicum, Cathepsin B Endopeptidase, DNA vaccine, Eukaryotic expression
