Abstract:

Objective:
To express human papillomavirus type 11, E7 protein (HPV11E7) via a prokaryotic expression vector and produce anti-HPV11E7 polyclonal antibody.
Methods:
A prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T2-HPV11E7 was constructed and soluble GST-HPV11E7 fusion protein was expressed in E.coli by IPTG induction and purified. The purified HPV11E7 protein was used to immunize New Zealand rabbits to prepare the anti-HPV11E7 polyclonal antibody followed by protein G agarose purification to obtain the IgG type polyclonal antibody. Western blotting and immunofluorescence analysis were used to test the specificity and titer of the antibody.
Results:
SDS-PAGE analysis demonstrated that large amounts of soluble GST-HPV11E7 fusion protein was expressed in E.coli after 6 hours of IPTG induction. Western blotting and immunofluorescence confirmed that the purified anti-HPV11E7 polyclonal IgG antibody obtained from immunized rabbits had a high titer and specificity.
Conclusion:
The prokaryotic expression system could express a great deal of soluble HPV11E7 protein, and anti-HPV11E7 polyclonal IgG antibody from HPV11E7-immunized rabbits was proved to have a high titer and specificity.
