Using plasmid containing S1-I and S1-II genome as template Max DNA Polymerase kit for PCR amplification. The reaction system was 2 XBuffer 10. Mu.L, 1. Mu.L each for the upstream and downstream primers, 1. Mu.L for the plasmid, and RNASE FREE H 2 O7. Mu.L. The reaction conditions were 98℃for 2min,98℃for 10s,52℃for 15s,72℃for 1min,35 cycles, 72℃for 10min and 4℃for termination. And (3) after agarose gel electrophoresis of PCR amplified products, recovering and purifying DNA by using a gel recovery kit, simultaneously carrying out double digestion and recovery purification on target gene fragments and pET30a (+) vectors by using EcoRI and XhoI restriction enzymes, connecting T4DNA ligase at 16 ℃ overnight, converting the connected products into DH5 alpha competent cells, extracting plasmid DNA by using a plasmid extraction kit, and carrying out sequencing identification by using Qingdao Rui Boke biological limited company after the double digestion identification of EcoRI and XhoI is correct.
The recombinant prokaryotic expression plasmid pET-30a (+) -S1-I, pET-30a (+) -S1-II is subjected to double digestion by using designed restriction enzymes EcoRI and XhoI to identify a target gene, and after double digestion, the length of S1-I of 7688 bp, S1-II of 990bp and 5400bp is obtained, and the fragment and the vector are respectively consistent with the target fragment and the insert vector (figure 4).
2. Inducible expression of genes and purification and concentration of expression products
Plasmid was extracted from pET-30a (+) -S1-I, pET-30a (+) -S1-II bacteria solution, transferred into E.coli Rosetta and E.coli BL21 (DE 3) competent cells, 50. Mu.L was spread on LB agar plates containing kan (100. Mu.g/mL), cultured overnight at 37℃and single white colonies were picked up and shake-cultured overnight in LB liquid medium containing kan. Then amplifying shake culture according to the ratio of 1:100, adding IPTG to the final concentration of 0.8mmol/L when the OD value reaches about 0.4-0.6, and shake culturing at 28 ℃ for 12h. The bacterial cells were disrupted by sonication, the disrupted bacterial solution was centrifuged at 4℃and 10000rmp/min for 10min, and the supernatant and precipitate of the lysate were separated and analyzed by SDS-PAGE for the expression form of the recombinant protein. Removing the impurity protein under the denaturation condition by adopting a method of washing inclusion bodies, and dialyzing the denatured protein under different urea concentrations for gradual renaturation. Purified proteins were detected by SDS-PAGE and Western blot, and the concentration of the purified proteins was determined using a nucleic acid protein meter. The protein of the large induced expression was purified using His Trap TM affinity chromatography column. Purification effect the purified proteins obtained by SDS-PAGE analysis were designated S1-I, S1-II, respectively. Placing the purified protein in a dialysis bag, placing the dialysis bag filled with recombinant protein in a protein dialysate for renaturation, sequentially carrying out gradient dialysis on the protein dialysate containing urea with different concentrations (8 mmol/L, 6mmol/L, 4mmol/L, 2mmol/L and 1 mmol/L) from high to low at intervals of 12 hours, replacing the protein dialysate with the next gradient protein dialysate, and finally placing the protein dialysate in PBS for dialysis for 12 hours.

4) Indirect ELISA negative and positive judgment standard
24 Chicken sera were selected, positive controls were set, OD 450nm values of negative and positive sera were determined according to the optimized indirect ELISA assay, and the mean (X) and Standard Deviation (SD) of the N/P values were calculated. When S/P is more than or equal to X+3SD, the test result is positive, and when S/P is less than X+3SD, the test result is negative.

The recombinant protein S1-II is taken as a coating antigen, the OD450 nm value of 24 serum at the dilution of 1:2000 is counted, X=0.070 and S=0.022 of all negative serum OD450 nm are calculated, the critical value of S/P=0.136 is calculated as the critical value of negative judgment, the positive judgment is carried out when the S/P is more than or equal to 0.136, and the negative judgment is carried out when the S/P is less than 0.136 (figure 8B). Experimental results show that the detection lower limit of the recombinant protein S1-I serving as the coating antigen is lower.
5) Repeatability test
The intra-batch reproducibility test was performed using 3 batches of the antigen-coated ELISA plates of the same batch, and the inter-batch reproducibility test was performed using 3 batches of the antigen-coated ELISA plates of different batches. Each time an indirect ELISA assay was performed with 6 sera, 3 replicates were set per serum, OD 450nm values were read, X, S and Coefficient of Variation (CV) were calculated, and the results were counted and analyzed.
