Abstract:

In this study,IBV HH06 complete E gene was firstly cloned and sequenced.According to the hydrophilicity and antigenic index analysis,its partial gene (193 to 327 bp) was subcloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a(+) and eukaryotic expression vector PVAX1.The recombinant plasmid pET-32a-E1 was transformed into E.coli Rosetta (DE3) and induced with IPTG.The recombinant IBV truncated E1 protein with molecular weight of 23 ku was observed as expected.It could be recognized by positive IBV antisera in Western blotting with high reactivity.Then the purified recombinant protein was used as antigen for immunization of rabbit to prepare polyclonal antibody.Indirect ELISA showed that the titer of polyclonal antibody was 220,and it had high reactivity and specialty with recombinant protein.Furthermore,IFA test demonstrated that this polyclonal antibody could react with Hela cells transfected with PVAX-E1 plasmid and IBV-infected CEK cells.The IBV E polyclonal antibody obtained in this study laid a foundation for further functional research of E protein in IBV pathogenesis.
