              Abstract 
 Aim:
              The present study was undertaken to clone, sequence and 
              analyze the hsf, an outer membrane protein gene of 
              Pasteurella multocida serotype B:2 
              Materials and Methods: hsf gene was amplified from 
              genomic DNA of P. multocida. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) 
              product was cloned in pET-32a vector and was characterized. hsf
              gene was sequenced, analyzed and phylogenetic tree was 
              constructed taking sequences of other strains. 
              Results: Amplicon size was found to be 785 bp. Recombinant got 
              characterized through colony PCR and restriction enzyme analysis. 
              Conclusion: hsf gene of P. multocida serotype B 
              is similar to serotype A, but different from serotype D. Further 
              work is needed to evaluate role of Hsf protein in protection 
              studies and to study the antigenic properties of this recombinant 
              protein as a candidate for vaccine. 
              Keywords: cloning, hsf gene, outer 
              membrane protein, Pasteurella multocida, phylogenetic tree, 
              sequencing
