Then the recombinant pGEX-KG-N1-99 was transformedinto E. coli JM109 to express GST-fusion protein. The fusion protein was purified by glutathione sepharoseTM 4B agarose. The purified GST-LAPTM4B-N1-99 was characterized by SDSPAGE, and used to immunize rabbits. The titer and specificity of antisera were detected by ELISA and Western blot, respectively. The correlation between the expression levels of LAPTM4B-35 and the differentiation status of HCC was analyzed via Western blot. The expression of LAPTM4B35 in HCC and other six cancer tissues was investigated via tissue chip and immunohistochemical analysis. RESULTS: About 6.2 mg of pure GST-LAPTM4B-N1-99 was isolated from 1 L of bacteria. The GST-LAPTM4B-N1-99produced high titer antisera in rabbits and showed good immunity. Western blot showed specific reactions for the antibody to the LAPTM4B-35 in the total proteins from HCC tissues and BEL-7402 cells, also to the fusion protein purified or in the transformed bacteria. LAPTM4B-35 was remarkably expressed in several cancers, such as HCC, breast cancer, gastric carcinoma, lung cancer, and colon carcinoma, but not commonly expressed in esophageal cancer and rectum carcinoma. Notably, the expression levels of LAPTM4B-35 were significantly and inversely correlated to the differentiation of HCCs in a 20 case analysis. CONCLUSION: Specific polyclonal antibody (LAPTM4B-N1-99-pAb) to LAPTM4B-35 was produced. It identified the expression of LAPTM4B-35 in some cancer tissues originated from single layer cuboidal and columnar epithelial cells and firmly demonstrated that the expression of LAPTM4B-35 in HCC was inversely correlated with the differentiation of HCC.展开更多
