The aim for this study is cloning and expressing the Dermatophagoides farinae 13.8 kDa lysozyme (Bac) gene, purifying and identifying the protein allergenicity and conducting bioinformatics analysis of the Bac protein. Total RNA was extracted from cultured dust mites. The primers designed according to sequences was amplified by RT-PCR. The PCR product was cloned into pMD32-T vector, and then subcloned into pET-44a vector by restriction endonuclease EcoR I and Xho I. The recombinant plasmid pET44a-Bac was transformed into E. coli BL21 and was induced with IPTG. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique was used to test the allergen of Bac and the clustalw2 was used to conducted homology analysis and MEGA5 to construct phylogenetic tree of Bac. ProtParam tools were used to predict its physical and chemical properties. PSIPRED and SWISS-MODEL were used to predict its secondary structure and tertiary structure. IEDB and Preprod was used to analyze the T cell antigen epitope. DNAStar was used to analyze the B cell antigen epitope of Bac. After sequencing, we have successfully cloned the Bac gene, and the open reading frame was 396 bp, encoding 131 amino acid group. The Bac gene was transferred into E. coli BL21 (DE3). After induction with IPTG, Bac protein was largely expressed. The protein mainly existed in soluble form; protein molecular weight was about 14 kDa. The indirect ELISA method results showed that Bac could bind with dust mite allergic patients serum IgE. Comparing the cloned Der f Bac amino acid sequence with other mites, we found that its homology with NCBI accession number KFl13885.1 was 96 %. The molecular evolutionary tree analysis showed that Bac had a close relationship with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. The physical and chemical properties prediction showed Bac protein was stable. The prediction of the secondary and tertiary structure indicated that Bac mainly consisted of random coil. Bioinformatics analysis predicted four peptides (6-14, 38-46, 85-99, 122-130) as the
