JC病毒t抗原的融合蛋白表达及抗体制备

目的 构建JC病毒t抗原的原核融合蛋白表达载体,表达并纯化该融合蛋白.方法 采用PCR方法 从患者脑脊液中扩增JC病毒t抗原,测序正确后再克隆入pET32a(+)质粒,构建pET32a(+)-t表达重组体,并诱导表达t抗原融合蛋白.大量制备该融合蛋白并以镍柱亲和层析纯化.然后以纯化蛋白免疫小鼠制备多克隆抗体.结果pET32a(+)-t表达出相对分子质量为41 000左右的重组蛋白.十二烷基硫酸钠一聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)分析显示,异丙基-βD-硫代半乳糖苷诱导后3.5～20.0 h融合蛋白均高水平表达.Western印迹证实具有良好的抗原性,免疫BALB/c小鼠后,成功制备了鼠多克隆抗体.结论 成功构建原核表达载体pET32a(+)-t,表达纯化t抗原融合蛋白,成功制备了JC病毒小包膜蛋白t的抗体,为进一步流行病学调查及该基因的功能研究奠定了基础.

Expression of t antigen fusion protein of JC virus and preparation of its polyclonal antibody

Objective To construct prokaryotic expression vector carrying jc virus(JCV)t-antigen gene,express and purify this fusion protein.Methods The JCV t-antigen gene from a cerebrospinal fluid sample was amplified using polymerase chain reaction(PCR)method.After sequencing.the gene was cloned into plasmid pET32a(+)to construct recombinant prokaryotic expression vector pET32a(+)-t.The t-antigen fusion protein was expressed by isopropy-~D-thiogalactoside(IPTG)induction and prepared in large scale,then purified by Ni+affinity column chromatography.The polyclonal antibody was obtained from the BAI.B/C mouse immunity by the purified protein.Results The relative molecular nlass of recombinant protein expressed by pET32a(+)-t was about 41 000.Sodium dodeeylsulfate-polyaerylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE)showed that the fusion protein W&S highly expressed after 3.5～20.Oh of IPTG induction.The antigenicity of the purified protein Was well confirmed by Western blot.The anti-mousepolyclonal antibody was obtained successfully from immunized BALB/c mice.Conclusions The prokaryotic expression vector pET32a(+)-t is successful constructed and the fusion protein is expressed and purified.Furthermore,the antibody of JCV small envelop protein t is successfully prepared.This work provides vMuable information for further study on epidemiology and biological function of t antigen.
