Abstract:In order to prepare the polyclonal antibody of Alocasia macrorrhiza lectin (AML), the prokaryotic expression vectors containing partial and full length AML were constructed. The prokaryotic expressed partial AML fusion fragment was used as antigen to immune male New Zealand rabbit to produce antiserum. The results showed that the OD600 of Rosetta (DE3) host cell with prokaryotic expression construct pET30a (+) -AML cDNA expressing the full length of AML increased shortly then decreased gradually, after the inducer IPTG was added. The higher the IPTG concentration was added, the lower the OD600 of the broth was detected. Meanwhile no induced protein was detected by SDS-PAGE method. The OD600 of Rosetta (DE3) host cell with prokaryotic expression construct pET30a (+) -AML cDNA (270-613) expressing partial of AML increased gradually, and the expected size fusion protein was detected by SDS-PAGE, under the induction of IPTG. The induced AML fragment was purified by preparation SDS-PAGE, and used as antigen to immune male New Zealand rabbit to produce polyclonal antibody of AML. By using this antiserum, the expected size protein was detected from the tuber, leaf, petiole of Alocasiamacrorrhiza and the induced host cell containing pET30a (+) -AML cDNA (270-613) construct, through the Western blot, meaning that the prepared AML polyclonal antibody could be able to detect the AML specifically.
