为制备新型鸭源呼肠孤病毒(DRV)THll株SigmaA蛋白的多克隆抗体,本研究采用RT-PCR方法扩增DRVTHll株SigmaA的编码基因,将其克隆至原核表达载体pET-32a(+)中,在大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)中进行诱导表达。采用SDS.PAGE和westernblot对表达产物进行鉴定。结果表明,SigmaA基因不仅可以在大肠杆菌中高水平表达,表达产物的分子量约66ku,而且表达产物能够被特异性DRV多克隆抗体识别,证明表达的SigmaA蛋白具有良好的免疫活性。以纯化的SigmaA蛋白免疫实验兔制备抗SigmaA蛋白的多克隆抗体,间接ELISA检测结果显示其效价达1:20000以上。间接免疫荧光试验表明,多克隆抗体能够特异性识别DRV的SigmaA蛋白,表明SigmaA蛋白具有良好的免疫原性。本研究为进一步研究SigmaA蛋白的功能,以及建立DRV检测方法奠定了基础。
To prepare polyclonal antibody against Sigma A protein of a novel duck reovirus (DRV), the Sigma A gene was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into the pET-32a(+) vector. The resultant recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3) to express with IPTG induction. The SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the expressed product was about 66ku which was recognized by antiserum of DRV TH-11 reovirus by western blot. The polyclonal antibody was prepared from the rabbit immunized with purified recombinant protein. The titer of the antibody was about 1:20,000 by detection of indirect ELISA. The indirect immunofluorescence assay also confirmed that the polyclonal antibody reacted specially with DRV Sigma A protein, which would be used for study of the Sigma A function.
