Typhoid fever caused by Salmonella typhi is an endemic disease in Asia, including Indonesia. Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), there are 81% per 100,000 people in Indonesia infected with typhoid. Based on this, development of typhoid detection kit that is simple, fast, specific and sensitive is still needed. One of the developments of detection kits currently available is the antigen and antibody interaction approach. This study aims to obtain comprehensive information about purification of recombinant Fim-C-S. typhi proteins as antigens for raw materials for manufacturing typhoid detection kits. This study uses the IMAC method with Ni2+ metal, which has advantages in high selectivity and purity. The results of this study report that purification of recombinant Fim-C-S. typhi protein inclusion bodies with variations in the binding and washing process at 3, 5, and 7 times gave percent yields correspondingly of 37.84, 39.44, and 38.21% pure protein. Previous studies have also reported variations in binding and washing at 2, 4, and 6 times and gave percent yields respectively were 35.37, 39.11, and 40.49%. Based on the data, we concluded that the variation of 6 times is the best repetition variation to get the largest percent yield so that it can be used as a reference in large-scale purification.
