ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates, in general, to a method of expressing the outer membrane protein P2 from Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib-P2) and fusion proteins thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of expressing the outer membrane protein P2 from Haemophilus influenzae type b or fusion protein thereof in E. coli wherein the Hib-P2 protein or fusion protein comprises more than 2% of the total protein expressed in E. coli. The invention also relates to a method of purification and refolding of Hib-P2 protein and fusion protein thereof.
