Objective To express and purify giycogene Glt8d2 recombinant protein, and to prepare rabbit polyclonal antibody specific for GltSd2 recombinant protein. Methods GltSd2 cDNA was ligated into the prokaryotic expressive vector pET-32a ( + ) . The resultant plasmid was transformed into E. coil BI21 (DE3) Glt8d2 recombinant protein expression was induced under IPTG condition and analyzed with western blotting, followed by Ni + affinity column purification. The GltSd2 recombinant protein product was further confirmed by mass spectrometry. New Zealand rab-bits were immunized with the purified pET-32a ( + ) -Glt8d2 fusion protein to gain polyclonal antibody. Antibody speeificity and potency were evaluated by Western blot and ELISA. Results The Glt8d2 fusion protein was highly expressed. The protein was produced mainly in the inclusion body. ELISA showed the titer of the polyclonal antibody higher than 1:320 000. Western blot con- firmed the high specificity of Gh8d2 antibodies. Immunohistochemistry staining of liver tissue showed that this glycosyhransferase are mainly seattered in the eytoplasm of hepatocytes. Conclusion The recombinant Gh8d2 fusion protein and the Glt8d2 specific potyclonal antibody will be useful for investigation of Gh8d2 biologieal function.
