摘要
目的:构建丙型肝炎病毒核心抗原结合蛋白12(HCVCore binding protein,HCBP12)原核表达载体,在大肠埃希菌中进行表达、纯化HCBP12融合蛋白并制备兔抗HCBP12多克隆抗体。方法:应用逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR),以提取的HepG2细胞mRNA为模板,扩增获得HCBP12基因片段,插入至原核表达载体pET-32a(+)中,构建原核表达载体pET-32a(+)-HCBP12,转化大肠埃希菌BL21,以异丙基硫代β-D-半乳糖苷(IPTG)诱导,获得HCBP12融合蛋白的可诱导性表达,并通过SDS-PAGE电泳、Western Blot免疫印迹分析和证实融合蛋白表达的特异性。利用Ni+亲和柱对表达蛋白进行纯化及柱上复性。纯化蛋白免疫新西兰兔,获得抗HCBP12多克隆抗体。以纯化HCBP12为抗原,利用Western blot和ELISA法对多克隆抗体进行特异性和效价检测。结果:HCBP12融合蛋白表达成功。SDS-PAGE分析表明其为包涵体表达。成功获得了融合蛋白纯品及兔抗HCBP12多克隆抗体。ELISA法表明多克隆抗体效价>1512000,Western blot检测证明多克隆抗体的特异性良好。结论:成功表达、纯化HCBP12融合蛋白,并获得高特异性、高效价兔抗HCBP12多克隆抗体,为研究HCBP12蛋白的生物学功能及丙肝的临床治疗提供了重要的实验工具。
AIM: To express and purify HCV core binding protein (HCBP12) with prokaryotic cell ex- pressive vector and to prepare HCBP12 specific rabbit polyclonal antibody. METHODS: The DNA segment of HCBP12 was amplified by RT-PCR with mRNA template from HepG2 cells and inserted into inducible prokaryotic expressive vector pET-32a( + ). The recombinant plasmid, pET-32a ( + )-HCBP12, was trans- formed into the competent E. coli BL21. The inducible HCBP12 fusion protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and conformed by Western blot. Then the inducible HCBP12 protein was purified and renatured by Ni+ affinity column chromatography. The purified HCBP12 protein was used to immunize New Zealand rabbits for preparing polyclonal antibody. The specificity and po-tency of polyclonal antibody was evaluated by Western blot and ELISA. RESULTS: The HCBP12 fusion protein was highly expressed and purified. The polyclonal antibody against HCBP12 was obtained successfully with the titer 〉 1: 512000 and confirmed specifically with Western blot. CONCLUSION:The successful expression and purification of HCBP12 fusion protein and the preparation of specific anti-HCBP12 polyclonal antibody will be valuable for the study on the biological function of HCBP12 and clinical therapy of Hepatitis C.
