摘要
对雌激素受体α基因的氨基酸序列进行抗原性分析,筛选合适的基因片段进行克隆,经RT-PCR扩增得到大小为945bp的片段,经测序鉴定后,将该片段定向亚克隆于pMAL-c2x表达载体中,转化至TB1感受态细胞中进行诱导表达。经1mmol/L IPTG诱导4h观察到有新的重组蛋白获得了表达,采用SDS-PAGE和Western blot试验进行检测,结果表明表达的重组蛋白的分子质量约为78.1ku,表达产物占菌体总蛋白的42.3%,且具有免疫学活性。进一步纯化和蛋白酶切后,得到单一的雌激素受体α蛋白。以该蛋白免疫小鼠制备抗体,在免疫第7周时达到最大滴度1.158±0.232。将制备的多克隆抗体进行黄鳝性腺免疫组化分析,结果表明其能特异性地与卵巢中的激素受体α反应,在细胞膜上形成褐色沉淀。
To study the function of the estrogen receptor a (ERα) gene, the recombinant pMAL- ERa was constructed and expressed in TB1 E. coli. Partial cDNA encoding ERα was amplified from total RNA of swamp eel (Monopterus albus) ovary by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR). The analysis of the sequence data indicated that the cDNA fragment was 945 bp in length, enco- ding 315 amino acid residues. The amplified cDNA fragment was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector, pMAL-c2x and the recombinant plasmid was then transformed into E. coli TB1. ERa-MBP fusion protein was obtained after the IPTG addition into the growth media. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the ERα-MBP was expressed after induction by IPTG for 4 h. A protein band of 78. 1 ku appeared on SDS-PAGE gel and was identified by Western blot. The production of the recombinant protein was about 42.3% of total bacteria protein. After purification and cleavage of the fusion protein, purified ERa protein was obtained. Then the purified protein was used to immunize ICR mice to produce anti- ERa anti- body. This purified protein could significantly elicit specific antibody response in immunized mice compared with the control groups,and the titers against ERa reached the peak (1. 158±0. 232) at the 7th week. The immunohistochemical analysis showed that the polyclonal antibody can induce specific reaction with ERa receptor in ovary and produced brown precipitation on the ovary cell membrane.
