Abstract

An expression vector which can be used to express fusion proteins which are useful as immunogens. The vector is characterized as a 3.35 kilobase pair vector having origins for replication and selectivity markers for bacteria. The plasmid has an E. coli promotor segment, a CheY fusion protein sequence and a unique restriction site at the 3' end of the CheY segment for preparing a DNA segment which codes for a foreign protein to be expressed.
