摘要:

为原核表达严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(简称新型冠状病毒,severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2,SARS-CoV-2)S蛋白受体结合域(receptor binding domain, RBD)并制备多克隆抗体,利用基因克隆技术将RBD基因连接到原核表达载体pGEX-6p-1和pET-32a(+)上,电转化至大肠杆菌XL1-Blue感受态细胞,利用优化后的表达条件大量表达重组蛋白,经亲和层析纯化后通过SDS-PAGE检测蛋白的表达情况。利用GST-RBD融合蛋白作为免疫抗原免疫小鼠制备多克隆抗体,ELISA和Western blot分析抗血清的效价和特异性。PCR鉴定和序列测定结果显示,成功构建了重组载体pGEX-RBD和pET-RBD,在大肠杆菌中实现了GST-RBD和RBD-His融合蛋白的可溶性高效表达。研究获得的多克隆抗体的滴度达到约1∶3 000,并具有良好的结合特异性。原核表达的可溶性新型冠状病毒RBD重组蛋白具有良好的免疫原性,为后续制备基因工程抗体奠定了实验基础。

Abstract:

To obtain the receptor binding domain (RBD) of S protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in prokaryotic cells and further prepare its polyclonal antibodies, the RBD gene was connected into prokaryotic expression vectors of pGEX-6p-1 and pET-32a(+) by gene cloning technology. The recombinant plasmids were then transformed into the competent cells of Escherichia coli strain XL1-blue. The recombinant proteins were largely expressed by the optimized expression conditions. After purification by affinity chromatography, the expression of recombinant proteins was detected by SDS-PAGE. Polyclonal antibodies were prepared by immunizing mice with GST-RBD fusion protein as immune antigen. Their titers and specificity were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot. The PCR identification and sequencing results showed that the recombinant vectors of pGEX-RBD and pET-RBD were successfully constructed. The fusion proteins of GST-RBD and RBD-His were achieved efficient and soluble expression in E. coli. The titers of the obtained polyclonal antibodies reached approximately 1∶3 000 and they had good binding specificities. The soluble recombinant RBD protein of novel coronavirus expressed in prokaryotic cells has good immunogenicity, which layed an experimental foundation for the further preparation of genetic engineering antibodies.
