Polycomblike (Pcl) as a member of polycomb group, plays an important role in regulating the development of hemocytes, phagocytosis and antimicrobial peptides expression in the Drosophila. In this study, we aimed to prepare rat polyclonal antibodies against Pcl. A fraction of Pcl gene was amplified by PCR, and inserted into pRSETA vector. Then the pRSETA-Pcl plasmid was transformed into E. coli JM109 (DE3), and the fusion protein was expressed under induction of IPTG. Then, the 6×His-Pcl protein were purified by Ni-NTA Superflow chromatography and used to immunize SD rats for generating polyclonal antibodies. The generated antibodies were purified with CNBr Activated Sepharose 4B, and then analyzed by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. The results indicated that the anti-Pcl antibodies are with high sensitivity and specificity, also can detect both Pcl full length and endogenous proteins, which would benefit the further function study of Pcl gene.
