In the same vector & strain ?- how do you determine if it was expressed ? Western blot of tag ?

I mutated a 60kDa protein (changing from X-->Pro). After doing all the steps, I sequenced the expression vector. It seems everything is fine, even with promoter, but, I can't express it. I tried different Tempratures, IPTG (e with new Stock), media, but they didnot make any difference. Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Best, Jahan
