Preparation Of PCD8β Recombination Protein Monoclonal Antibody

CD molecules play central biological roles in hematopoietic cell differentiation, proliferation, activation and migration as well as host defense, inflammation, apoptosis, autoimmunity and organogenesis. CD molecules and their monoclonal antibodies (mAbs)have been generally applied into a variety of branches in life science research and medicine including pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and therapy of human diseases.CD8 was type I integral membrane protein mainly expressed at the surface of T helper lymphocytes (Th)and cytotoxic/suppressor T lymphocytes (CTL/Ts). CD8 has been shown function in mediating signal transduction and adhesion on a subset of cells within the T cell compartment and is critically involved in the development of T cells expressing MHC class I restricted T cell receptor (TCR). CD8 genes are selectively expressed on the surface of TCRaβT cells, thymocytes, intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes and natural killer cells. CD8 is a transmembrane glycoprotein with an N-terminal Ig-like domain, a hinge region, and a cytoplasmic domain responsible for interaction with p56lck, the lymphocyte specific kinase.Gene-specific primers were designed based on the cloned CD8βnucleotide sequences and multi-clone restriction enzyme sites of prokaryotic expressive vector pET-28a,the pCD8βwas amplified from recombinant plasmid pGEM-T-pCD8βby PCR, and it was 564 bp in length. Then the cDNA fragments were cloned into pET-28a,the recombinant plasmid were identified by PCR and endonucleases EcoRI & HindⅢdigestion.The recombinants, namely pET-28a-pCD8β, were transformed into E.coli strain BL21, the recombinant proteins was about 24Ku as analyzed by SDS-PAGE.After optimizing prokaryotic expression conditions, we determined the optimum inducement time and temperature and concentration of IPTG. The recombinant plasmids pET-28a-p CD8βwas induced to express large-scale recombinant protein pCD8β, the induced recombinant bacteria was lysed by freeze-thaw and sonication. At last, we obtained the pCD8βinclusion body protein, expression recombination protein of pCD8βwas purified ,and BALB/c mice was Immuned with the pCD8βprotein. A strain stable hybridoma cell which a strain stable hybridoma cell which secreted pCD8 mAb was gained by establishment of hybridoma cell , sieve of fusion cell and cloning cultivation, and named 1E8. Ascites of monoclonal antibody ELISA titer was l×l06 and Western-blotting analysis showed that the recombination protein pCD8βwas indentified by monoclonal antibody .monoclonal antibodies was belong to IgG2b with antibody subclass identification, and light chain isκtype . It made a basis on researching for the physiological function of immune cells and the biological role of cell surface markers.In conclusion, we expressed CD8βgene in prokaryocyte and generated mice anti-porcine CD8βmonoclonal antibody successfully. All these provide some experimental materials for future studies on the immunity function of porcine CD8.
