目的 制备人微管相关蛋白tau N端的外显子2和外显子3特异性多克隆抗体.方法 从人外周血DNA中获得tau蛋白外显子2及外显子3序列并连接至原核表达载体pGEX-2T,表达纯化重组融合蛋白GST-E2、GST-E3;以此融合蛋白免疫家兔及小鼠制备抗血清,通过ProteinG/A、偶联GST蛋白的溴化氰(CNBr)活化柱对抗血清进行亲和纯化;用Western Blot及ELISA方法确定所制备抗体的特异性和敏感性.结果 在大肠埃希菌中表达纯化出人tau外显子2和外显子3重组融合蛋白GST-E2和GST-E3,相对分子质量为29×103.免疫实验动物后获得抗血清,经系列纯化后Western Blot和ELISA检测显示,制备的抗人tau蛋白外显子2和外显子3抗体具有良好的特异性和免疫反应效价.结论 成功制备了4种人tau外显子2和外显子3特异性抗体,为进行tau蛋白在神经退行性疾病中的作用研究提供了基础.

Preparations of the specific antibodies against exon 2 and exon 3 of human tau protein

Objective To prepare the specific antibodies against exon 2 and exon 3 of human tan protein. Methods Sequences encoding exon 2 and exon 3 of human tau protein were amplified from human peripheral blood DNA and cloned into a prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-2T. Fusion proteins GST-E2 and GST-E3 were expressed and purified from E. coli system. The antisera were elicited by immunization of the purified fusion proteins to rabbits and mice. The specific antibodies were purified by Protein G/A and CNBr-aetivated sepharose 4B coupled with GST protein. The specificity and sensitivity of the purified antibodies were evaluated by Western blotting and ELISA.Results Recombinant fusion proteins GST-E2 and GST-E3 were expressed and purified from E. coli, which showed Mr. 29 x 103 . Various antisera were collected from the immunized experimental animals. Reliable immunoreactive specificity and titers of the purified antibodies against exon 2 and exon 3 of human tau protein were confirmed by Western blotting and ELISA after serial purification processes. Conclusion Four specific antibodies against exon 2 and exon 3 of human tau protein have been successfully prepared, which provides basis for analyzing the role of tau in neurodegenerative diseases.
