The invention discloses a recombinant
tachypleus tridentatus C factor based on
codon optimization and application of the recombinant
tachypleus tridentatus C factor in endotoxin detection, and relates to the technical field of bioengineering. The
limulus C factor sequence is used as a starting sequence, the
limulus C factor is recoded, and the
gene sequence of the recombinant
limulus C factor is shown as SEQ ID NO: 1;
protein corresponding to the sequence is expressed through an
insect cell-
baculovirus expression system, and the expression quantity is high, that is, the
protein expression quantity of the recombinant
horseshoe crab factor C is successfully improved through
codon optimization. The production cost of the recombinant
tachypleus tridentatus C factor endotoxin detection method kit is reduced, and the recombinant tachypleus tridentatus C factor detection method replaces a tachypleus tridentatus
reagent detection method to become a mainstream method for endotoxin detection, so that the problem of
raw material supply of tachypleus tridentatus
reagent due to the fact that tachypleus tridentatus becomes a protective animal is solved; and the existing recombinant
horseshoe crab factor C detection method has the problems of high
product price and the like.
