A highly purified TUL4-CBD chimeric protein was obtained by one stage purification method. TUL4-CBD protein consists of TUL4 Francisella tularensis mature peptide sequence, Gly-Ser spacer and cellulose binding domain (CBD) of Anaerocellum thermophilum. The TUL4-CBD protein was shown to induce production of specific antibodies to TUL4 protein in laboratory animals.
