Objective: To construct the prokaryotic expression vector and to express soluble GITRL fusing protein. Methods: The GITRL gene was digested by EcoR Ⅰ and Sal Ⅰ , recovered from 1% agarose and ligated into a prokaryotic expression vector named PET32a to construct reconstruction plasmid GITRL-PET32a, positive clones were analyzed and transformed into BL21 (DE3). The GITRL-expressing bacteria were cultured in different concentration of IPTG. The fusion protein was purified by Ni ^+ -NTA column and detected by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. In addition, the purified GITRL protein was mixed with Freund' s complete adjuvant to immunize rabbit and the anti-mouse GITRL antibody was produced. Results: Digestion and sequence analysis confirmed that the identification of prokaryotic expression plasmid was correct. The SDS-PAGE and Western blot results showed that the molecular weight of GITRL fusion protein was about 40 kD. mGITRL protein could reverse suppression of CD4^+ CD25^+ T cells. The titer of anti GITRL andibedy was 1 : 16, detected by two-way immuno-diffusion. Conclusion: The prokaryotic expression vector is successfully constructed, recombinant GITRL protein is produced, which induces high titer of anti GITRL anti- body. All of these results provide a foundation for further studying the biological function of GITRL.
