Objective To express the gene encoding surface antigen one (Sao) in highly virulent strains of Strepto- coccus suis serotype 2 ( S. suis 2) and to prepare the polyclonal antibodies against Sao to assess the immune characteristics of the anti-Sao polyclonal antibodies. Methods The target gene sao was amplified by PCR using the genomic template of 05ZYH33. Sao gene was subsequently inserted into pEASY-Tl-simple vector and subcloned into expression vector pET28a. The prokaryotic expression plasmid pET28a-sao was transformed into E. coli BL21 after the identification with double digestion of BamH I and Sal I and DNA sequencing. With the induced expression by isopropyl fl-D-l-thiogalacto- pyrannoside(IPTG) ,the recombinant protein Sao was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electro- phresis (SDS-PAGE). The Sao protein was purified with His-Binding-resin. The titer and specificity of the polyclonal an- tibodies were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) and Western blot. Bactericidal assay was used to identify the bactericidal activity of rabbit polyclonal antibodies against Sao. Results The expression vector pET28a- sao was successfully constructed. The fused gene was highly-expressed in E. coli BL21. ELISA detection results indicated that the titer of polyclonal antibodies to Sao was about 1 : 102400. Western blot results showed that the anti-Sao polyclonal antibodies could bind to recombinant Sao protein specifically. The polyclonal antibodies against the recombinant Sao pro- tein could promote bactericidal ability of human whole-blood. Conclusion The anti-Sao polyclonal antibodies are of good specificity and high titer and could promote bactericidal ability of human whole-blood.
