摘要
为研究CTCF的功能,进一步探索肿瘤的发病机制,我们成功制备了人转录因子CTCF N端融合蛋白多克隆抗体,并初步用于肿瘤细胞CTCF表达状态的分析。采用已构建的表达质粒PGEX-4T-2-CTCF-N,经IPTG诱导表达GST-CTCF N融合蛋白,亲和层析纯化GST-CTCF N融合蛋白,免疫新西兰大白兔制备多克隆抗体。并通过Western blot,对肿瘤细胞和组织CTCF蛋白表达状态进行初步分析。本实验成功在大肠杆菌BL21中诱导表达了GST-CTCF N融合蛋白,经亲和层析纯化获得了纯化的融合蛋白。免疫新西兰大白兔获得了较高生物活性和特异性的多克隆抗体,Western blot证实此多克隆抗体能够特异性识别HepG2、HeLa、MCF-7癌细胞及组织的内源性CTCF蛋白,为今后从蛋白质水平研究CTCF基因表达调控研究打下了基础。
To investigate the function of CTCF and understand the pathogenesis of tumors better,we produced rabbit polyclonal antibody of human transcription factor CTCF protein and detected its expression in several kinds of human cancer cells and tissues.GST fusion protein of human CTCF-N domain was purified by GSTrap-FF affinity chromatography and was successfully expressed under induction of IPTG in E.coli BL21.Western blotting analysis demonstrated that the polyclonal antibody can recognize the endogenous CTCF from HepG2,MCF-7 and HeLa cells specifically.The produced antibodies can be used for gene expression regulation and tissue distribution study at protein level.
