Recombinant tegumental protein Shistosoma japonicum very lowdensity lipoprotein binding protein as a vaccine candidate against Schistosoma japonicum

A polyhistidine-tagged recombinant tegumental protein Schistosoma japonicum very lowdensity lipoprotein binding protein (SVLBP) from adult Schistosoma japonicum was expressed in Escherichia coli.
