目的 :原核表达人肝再生磷酸酯酶 2 (PRL 2 )与谷胱甘肽S转移酶 (GST)和 6个串联组氨酸 (6×His)的融合蛋白 ,并制备GST PRL 2特异性鸡卵黄抗体。方法 :将人PRL 2cDNA的全长蛋白编码序列 ,克隆入两种原核表达载体pGEX 4T 2和pET2 1a中 ,在大肠杆菌BL2 1中诱导表达融合蛋白。用Glu tathioneSepharose 4B和Ni NTAagarose亲和柱分别纯化目的蛋白。以纯化的GST PRL 2融合蛋白免疫产蛋母鸡制备多克隆抗体 ,应用 6×His PRL 2对抗体进行亲和层析纯化 ,纯化产物用Westernblot进行分析。结果 :得到高表达量的融合蛋白 ,经亲和层析柱纯化后获得较高纯度的GST PRL 2和 6×HisPRL 2融合蛋白。以GST PRL 2融合蛋白免疫鸡得到抗PRL 2的多克隆抗体 ,Westernblot证实 ,经 6×HisPRL 2亲和层析纯化的抗体 ,能够识别 6×His PRL 2和GST PRL 2融合蛋白 ,但不同GST蛋白起反应 ,表明具有较高的特异性。结论 :利用原核表达的人PRL 2融合蛋白制备的抗PRL 2多克隆抗体具有较好的特异性 ,为研究PRL

AIM: To express phosphatase 2 of regenerating liver (PRL-2) fusion protein in E.coli and to prepare specific hen egg yolk immunoglobulin(IgY) against PRL-2. METHODS: A full-length human PRL-2 gene coding sequence was cloned into expression vectors pGEX-4T-2 and pET21a, then transformed into E.coli. Fusion protein GST-PRL-2 was expressed in E.coli via IPTG induction. The expressed proteins were purified from lysates through Glutathione Sepharose 4B and the Ni-NTA agarose columns, respectively. The purified GST-PRL-2 was mixed with Freund’s complete or incomplete adjuvant and egg-laying hens were immunized. The specificity of antibody was identified by Western blot. RESULTS: A high level of expression of target protein was detected by Western blot after IPTG induction and purified protein was obtained through Glutathione Sepharose 4B and the Ni-NTA affinity chromatography agarose columns, respectively. Western blot analysis showed that the anti-PRL-2 polyclonal antibody can recognize 6×His-PRL-2 fusion protein. CONCLUSION: The hen egg yolk immunoglobulin(IgY) against PRL-2 expressed in E.coli has good specificity which provides a useful reagent for the detection of PRL-2.
