SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the relative molecular weight of fusion protein was about 30 kD （1 kD= 0. 9921 ku）, which was consistent with the theoretically predicted value. Proliferation of PBMC could be induced by purified Id-scFv. It was suggested that the expression vector of SmIg scFv fragment was constructed successfully, and scFv protein was expressed and secreted from E. coil, which could induce proliferation of PBMC.
