Abstract

RT-PCR amplification of VIA (3D) gene and protease (3C) using its primers. Legation of the PCR product with the cloning vector (using pET system). Expression of the re- combinant plasmid in E. coli expression host. Use of the expressed VIA protein in diagnosis of cattle infected with any of the 7 serotypes of FMD virus with the help of ELISA.
