To obtain the recombinant pZP3a protein for the study of the contraceptive vaccines,the DNA sequence(446-1423) encoding purified pZP3a was inserted into a vector pPICZaA. The recombinant plasmid pPICZaA-pZP3ct was linearized and then transformed into Pichia pastoris GSll5 by electroporation. Engineering strains were attained by screening with zeocin and induced to produce rpZP3ct in high-density fermentation. Then rpZP3a was purified by Cu^2+ metal affinity column chromatography from the separated and concentrated fermentative supematants. The purified rpZP3a was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot, and the quantity, purity and rate of recovery of the rpZP3a were analyzed by Quantity One software. One male rabbit was immunized with the Cu-NTA-purified rpZP3a. The antibody responses against rpZP3a and porcine ZP were detected by ELISA and the indirect immunofluorescence. Engineering strains expressing rpZP3a in secretion were constructed. A 46kD component named rpZP3a which can react with anti-pZP3 antibody was purified from fermentative supernatants of engineering strains and the average yield of purified rpZP3a obtained from fermentative supematants was 8mg/L. The purity and the rate of recovery were up to 92% and 63% respectively. The anti-rpZP3a antiserum was prepared by immunization of a male rabbit with purified rpZP3a. This anti-rpZP3a antiserum could react with rpZP3a and purified pZP3 in ELISA and bind to porcine zona pellucida which produced bright green fluorescence in the indirect immunofluorescence. The rpZP3a (46kD) protein could be successfully expressed in the Pichia pastoris expression system. And this protein retained the immunogenic activity of natural pZP3.
