Abstract:Objective To construct a recombinant prokaryotic vector inducibly expressing human PIASNY, and prepare mouse polyclonal antibody against His-PIAS-NY. Methods PIAS-NY gene was amplified by PCR with human spermatogonial cDNA library as a templation. PCR products were inserted into PET-30a vector. The recombinant plasmid was successively verified by PCR, enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing analysis. The Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) containing recombinant vector PIAS-NY-pET30a was induced to express fusion protein by IPTG. After denaturation, protein was purified with Imidazole elution by affinity chromatography followed by protein refolding. Mice were immunized by peritoneal injection of recombinant PIAS-NY protein for six times.Polyclonal antibody was obtained by harvesting mouse serum, bioactivity of which was examined by ELISA. Results The recombinant prokaryotic expression vector was successfully constructed. Expression of fusion protein was induced by IPTG induction at 37℃ for 4 hours in the form of inclusion bodies in Escherichia coli (BL21). Highly-purified soluble recombinant protein His-PIAS-NY was obtained after denaturation, purification and dilution renaturation. Serum levels of specific anti-PIAS-NY polyclonal antibody obtained from mouse serum was detected by ELISA at titer above 1: 100000. Western blot and co-immunoprecipitation assay confirmed its high specificity. Conclusions The polyclonal antibody against human PIAS-NY is obtained; it can recognize the protein within GC2 and 293T cells, which will be helpful for further study in spermatogenesis.
