Production and application of rabbit polyclonal antibody against mouse testis expressed 38 (TEX38) / 细胞与分子免疫学杂志

Objective To produce rabbit polyclonal antibody against mouse testis expressed 38 (TEX38). Methods Full-length open reading frame sequence of TEX38 was amplified and inserted into the pET-30a-(+) vector to construct pET-30a-TEX38 prokaryotic plasmid. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21, and expression was induced with isopropyl β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). New Zealand white rabbits were immunized with TEX38 protein after purification and denaturation, then TEX38 polyclonal antibodies were collected from rabbit serum samples. ELISA was performed to detect the antibody titer. Western blot and immunofluorescence staining were performed to determine the specificity of TEX38 polyclonal antibodies. Results The pET-30a-TEX38 recombinant plasmid was constructed, and TEX38 prokaryotic protein was expressed and purified successfully. After immunization, the titer of TEX38 antibody reached 1:1 000 000. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining showed that TEX38 was localized in the mouse spermatogenic cells and sperms with a good specificity. Conclusion The rabbit polyclonal antibody against mouse TEX38 is successfully produced, and the expression of TEX38 in mouse spermatogenic cells and sperms is validated.

Preparation and application of rabbit polyclonal antibody against mouse IQ and ubiquitin-like domain-containing protein (IQUB) / 细胞与分子免疫学杂志

Objective To prepare rabbit polyclonal antibody against mouse IQ and ubiquitin-like domain-containing protein (IQUB) and detect its expression in the mouse testis. Methods Full-length coding sequence of IQUB was inserted into the pET-30a(+) vector to construct pET-30a-IQUB recombinant prokaryotic plasmid. Transformation of pET-30a-IQUB plasmid into E. coli BL21 was performed, and protein expression was induced with isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG). The protein was purified through histidine-tagged fusion protein purification column, then denatured by treatment of urea with gradient concentration. New Zealand rabbits were immunized with the denatured protein to produce IQUB polyclonal antibody. Antibody titer was detected by ELISA, and Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence assay were employed to validate the effectiveness and specificity of IQUB antibody. Results pET-30a-IQUB recombinant plasmid was constructed, and protein expression of IQUB was induced successfully with IPTG. The titer of IQUB polyclonal antibody reached 1:1 000 000. The antibody specifically recognized the endogenous IQUB protein of testis in the wild-type adult mouse. IQUB was expressed in spermatogenic cells of different stages. It was localized in the acrosome and flagellum of mature sperms. Conclusion The highly specific rabbit anti-mouse IQUB polyclonal antibody is successfully prepared, which can be used for Western blot and immunofluorescence histochemistry.

Preparation and identification of rabbit anti-mouse coiled-coil domain containing 189(Ccdc189)polyclonal antibody / 细胞与分子免疫学杂志

Objective To prepare a rabbit anti-mouse coiled-coil domain containing 189 (Ccdc189) polyclonal antibody. Methods The pET-28a-Ccdc189 prokaryotic expression plasmid was constructed and transformed into E.coli BL21. IPTG was used to induce the expression of Ccdc189 prokaryotic protein. Adult male New Zealand rabbits were immunized with purified recombinant protein to obtain rabbit anti-mouse Ccdc189 polyclonal antibody. The specificity of the polyclonal antibody was identified by Western blot analysis, indirect ELISA and immunofluorescence histochemical staining. Results The pET-28a-Ccdc189 recombinant plasmid was successfully constructed and the expression of the Ccdc189 recombinant protein was induced. ELISA revealed that the titer of the polyclonal antibody was 1:1 000 000. Western blot and immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that the Ccdc189 polyclonal antibody could specifically identify the Ccdc189 prokaryotic protein and the Ccdc189 protein in adult wild-type mouse testis. Conclusion A polyclonal antibody with high specificity against mouse Ccdc189 was successfully created.

THE EFFECT OF ACUTE MYOCARDIUM ISCHEMIC ON HEART FUNCTION OF PREGNANCY RAT / 药物分析学报

Objective To investigate the effect of acute myocardium ischemic on heart function of pregnancy rat.Methods 13 female SD rats and 6 early pregnancy rats were divided into normal group, unpregnant group with acute myocardial infarction and early pregnant group with acute myocardial infarction. The anterior branch of the left coronary artery was ligated. 3 weeks later, Image 1.31 software was used to measure areas of myocardial infarction,and to evaluate hemodynamics of heart with powerLAB4.12, and cardiac tissues were stained with Massion. Results Compared with unpregnant group with acute myocardial infarction , the early pregnant group with acute myocardial infarction had less myocardial infarction area (28. 86% vs. 36. 8%), and had a higher left ventricle end systolic pressure, ±dp/dt max, and lower left ventricle end diastolic pressure. Massion stain showed the amount of collagen of the lesion was less in the early pregnant group with acute myocardial infarction than that in unpregnant group.Conclusion The early pregnant group with acute myocardial infarction had better heart contractive and diastolic function.
