Prokaryotic Expression of PlpE Protein of Bovine Pasteurella multocida and Preparation of Polyclonal Antibodies
In order to express the PlpE gene of bovine Pasteurella multocida in vitro and prepare corresponding polyclonal antibodies,a pair of specific primers were designed according to the nucleic acid sequence of the gene,then pET-32a-PlpE,the recombinant plasmid,was constructed through PCR amplification,after plasmid extraction and identification by double enzyme digestion,the recombinant plasmid was transformed into BL21(DE3)cells and the bacteria was induced by IPTG and the induced protein was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western Blot;Beijing White Rabbits were vaccinated with purified PlpE protein to prepare polyclonal antibodies,which were analyzed by indirect ELISA and Western Blot. The results showed that the amplified PlpE gene was 1 050 bp,and the induced PlpE protein was about 56 kDa. It was shown that,by indirect ELISA,the titer of the polyclonal antibodies could be up to 1:512 000;and by Western Blot,the antibody could react well with the positive serum. It was concluded that a foundation was laid for the establishment of the method for identifying Pasteurella multocida and development of relevant vaccines in the future.
