Objectives The aims of this study were to express the osmotically inducible protein C(OsmC)of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in a prokaryote,to purify that protein,and to evaluate its antioxidant capabilities. Methods M.pneumoniae was searched for the gene sequence coding for OsmC and PCR primers were designed to amplify the OsmC of M.pneumoniae.The resulting gene sequence coding for OsmC was double digested with the restriction endonucleases EcoRI and XhoI and the sequence was then ligated into pET-28 ato generate ...
