摘要: 目的 原核表达β-淀粉样蛋白(Aβ42)抗原,建立检测Aβ抗体的间接ELISA技术。方法 化学合成Aβ42基因两个互补片段,通过PCR构建人Aβ42基因,克隆至pGEX-2T表达载体中,原核表达并亲和纯化GST-Aβ42融合蛋白。Westernblotting检测其抗原特异性。以GST-Aβ42和Aβ42肽分别为包被抗原,间接ELISA法检测Aβ42免疫的大鼠血清中Aβ抗体。结果 原核表达的可溶性GST-Aβ42融合蛋白相对分子质量为31000,经亲和纯化后,融合蛋白产量为800mg/L菌液,纯度大于95%;Westernblotting证实纯化的融合抗原与Aβ单抗特异反应;以GST-Aβ42为包被抗原,间接ELISA法检测Aβ抗体灵敏度为2ng/ml;以GST-Aβ42和化学合成的Aβ42分别为包被抗原,间接ELISA法检测Aβ42肽免疫大鼠血清中Aβ抗体滴度,两者比较差异无显著性(P>0.05)。结论 原核表达的GST-Aβ42融合蛋白可替代昂贵的化学合成的Aβ42肽抗原,用于检测Aβ抗体。

Abstract: Objective To clone and express the recombinant amyloid beta-protein(Aβ42) antigen and develop a method for detecting Aβ antibody. Methods Two partially complementary fragments of Aβ42 gene were chemically synthesized for constructing the Aβ42 gene by PCR. The resultant Aβ42 gene fragment was subcloned into pGEX-2T expression vector for inducing the expression of GST-Aβ42 fusion protein, which was purified by affinity chromatography. The antigen specificity and reactivity of the purified GST-Aβ42 fusion protein to Aβ monoclonal antibody were identified with Western blotting. Using either GST-Aβ42 fusion protein or Aβ42 peptide as the coating antigen, an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was established for detecting Aβ antibodies in the serum of Aβ42 polypeptide-immunized SD rats. Results GST-Aβ42 fusion protein was successfully expressed as an soluble protein, which, after purification, was found to have a relative molecular mass of 31 kD. About 800 mg of GST-Aβ42 fusion protein were obtained from l L cell culture with a purity over 95%. Western blotting demonstrated specific reaction of this purified GST-Aβ42 fusion protein with Aβ monoclonal antibody. The sensitivity of the indirect ELISA for detecting Aβ antibody was about 2 ng/ml using GST-Aβ42 fusion protein as the coating antigen. There was no significant difference in the results of Aβ antibody detection using either GST-Aβ42 or Aβ42 as the coating antigen(P>0.05). Conclusion GST-Aβ42 fusion protein may serve as a substitute for the expensive Aβ42 peptide for detecting Aβ antibody.
