ABSTRACT
Objective To prepare and identify anti‐CD47 monoclonal antibodies .Methods The gene fragment of CD47 was am‐plified by polymerase chain reaction and cloned into prokaryotic expressing vector pET‐32a(+ ) .Purified reconstructed protein was used to immunize BALB/c mice .The immunized spleen cells were isolated and fused with Sp2/0 cells .After screened ,hybridomas secreting anti‐CD47 monoclonal antibody were acquired .Biological activities of antibodies were investigated by Western blot and flow cytometry .Results The recombinant CD47 extracellular domain protein was successfully expressed in BL21 ,and certificated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electropheresis and Western blot .Data of flow cytometry detection demonstrated that the antiserum had high affinity to CD47 protein .Conclusion Recombinant CD47 and its monoclonal antibody ,with high affinity , were successfully prepared ,which could provide reliable tools for the future study of CD47 .
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of the tests of mean corpuscular volume (MCV ) ,mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) in the screening of thalassemia .Methods 603 cases were performed MCV and MCH tests and gene detection of thalasse-mia .The results of gene detection were used as reference standard .The sensitivity ,specificity ,accuracy ,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of single or combined results of MCV ,MCH tests were calculated .Results The sensitivity and specificity of single MCV test were 91 .2% and 76 .1% ,single MCH test were 91 .2% and 70 .7% .The sensitivity and specificity of parallel combined tests of MCV and MCH were 94 .8% and 61 .4% ,serial combined tests of MCV and MCH were 88 .4% and 75 .6% .Con-clusion The sensitivity of single MCV or MCH test in the screening of thalassemia is high .Parallel combined tests of MCV and MCH can improve the sensitivity ,and will be widely used in the in the screening of thalassemia .
