Objective To express and purify the fusion protein of EGFL region of human Tenascin - R (hTenascin-Raa454-1069) in prokaryocytes and to prepare rabbit anti - Tenascin-Raa454-1069 polyclonal antibody (pAb). Methods The 616 bp DNA sequence of hTenascin-Raa454-1069 was obtained from PMD18 -T -TNR by PCR and subsequently inserted into pET30a( + ) plasmid to construct the prokaryotic expression plasmid pET30a( + ) -hTenascin-Raa454-1069. pET30a( + ) - hTenascin-Raa454-1069 was transformed into E. coli. The target fusion protein was expressed with the induction of Isopropyl 13 -D- 1 -thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and was purified by Ni^2+ -NTA affinity chromatography col- umn. The antiserum against hLINGO- 1aa76-319 was obtained from the rabbits immunized with hTenascin-Raa454-1069. The titer of pAb was determined by ELISA and the specificity of pAb was confirmed by Western blot. Results The prokaryotic expression plasmid pET30a( + ) -hTenascin-Raa454-1069was successfully constructed. The culture condition for high expression of target fusion protein was as followings: The optimal concentration of IPTG was 0.4mmol/L, the culture temperature was 37~C and the culture time was 2.5 h. The hTenascin-Raa454-1069 fusion protein was effectively expressed in E. coli as inclusion body. Soluble protein was obtained through denaturation and refolding procedure. The fusion protein was purified by Ni - NTA Resin affinity column was more than 90% purity. The anti - hLINGO - 1aa76-319 pAb was prepared by immunizing the rabbits with the purified target fusion protein. ELISA showed the titer of pAb was 1 : 1.6 × 10^6. Westeru blot analysis confirmed anti - hLINGO - 1aa76-319 pAb was of good specificity. Conclusion The fusion protein hTenascin - Raa454-1069 with high purity has been obtained and the anti - hTenascin-Raa454-1069 pAb with high titer and good specificity has been prepared. Our study facilitates further research into the molecular function of Tenascin - R.
